AWEA Offshore WINDPOWER 2017 Conference - This year's Offshore WINDPOWER follows the start of operations at America's first offshore wind farm in 2016. With New York State's ambitious goal to build 2,400 megawatts of offshore wind in mind, industry leaders will come together in The Big Apple for the largest gathering of offshore wind experts in the U.S. Conference panels will discuss how to continue the momentum advancing offshore wind, such as developing a robust U.S. supply chain.
