It may be summer now, but blink and it will be over. The time to plan for the fall is now. For those of us in the wind industry, September marks the time when the world comes together for an unrivaled exchange of ideas at WindEnergy Hamburg. The upcoming 2018 event is a part of the Global Wind Summit, and will take place from September 25-28, hosted by Hamburg Messe.

WindEnergy Hamburg invited a select group of clean energy representatives for a May preview of this global expo. Guests were treated to gorgeous weather, as well as personal tours of the rich history of this fascinating part of the world.

This much-anticipated gathering aims to focus on current trends and international markets. Specifically, industry experts will collaborate with a goal to identify areas of growth in cost efficiency; not only through new technologies involved in revamping existing sites, but exploring opportunities in previously underdeveloped territories.

Dynamic markets present exciting untapped potential. Several new countries will participate in this year's gathering, including Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, and South Africa. One of the most anticipated developments comes from the smart energy sector. Attendees will have an unparalleled opportunity to exchange ideas on the latest breakthroughs in digitization with exceptionally prescient forward thinkers, who are working to transform the entire concept of energy.

If you are fortunate enough to make the trip, not only will you enjoy world-renowned cuisine, but you and your colleagues can take advantage of stunning architecture, such as the Elbphilharmonie, which rewards you with spectacular 360 ° views of the city, the port, and, of course, wind turbines. Register here. We hope to see you there!
