AWEA WIND PROJECT O&M AND SAFETY CONFERENCE 2018
February 27th-28th, 2018
Hotel Del Coronado — San Diego, CA
As the wind energy industry continues to expand, so does the need for an evolving approach to operating the nation’s growing number of wind projects. Fortunately, there is no shortage of experience to draw from in this arena. Individuals from across industry sectors and across functional disciplines will join in San Diego in February to set a vision and plan for continued and expanded operational excellence in the wind industry. Be a part of the largest North American gathering of wind energy operational professionals and technicians, as they combine the essential elements of O&M, health and safety, workforce development, and quality assurance to develop a successful partnership for today and beyond.
