Description:
QUEST - International Conference and Tradeshow is a three day event dedicated to Smart Energy Communities in Cold Climates at the Fairmount, Winnipeg from November 18 - 21, 2012. We are bringing together the best thinkers, strategists, practitioners, and decision-makers from Canada and abroad to share what we can do to make Smart Energy Communities in Cold Climates a reality. We invite you to participate in Canada's only conference and tradeshow dedicated to Integrated Community Energy Systems and Solutions (ICES). ICES considers how energy is supplied and consumed in all sectors including transportation, land-use planning, industry, water and waste management and others. Following on the success of the 2011 Conference which attracted record attendance, the 2012 event provides participants a one-stop opportunity to tour and interact with local ICES projects, to participate in advanced training workshops, see the services and products that make ICES happen and to make the connections that can advance your knowledge and business in Canada and abroad.
