Monday, 16 April 2012, 11:00 – 12:30 European competitiveness and financing wind projects: two key issues which are common topics discussed in the industry.

Moderated by Dr. Patrick Dixon – futurist, author and business consultant – this session promises to be a lively debate.
Wednesday, 18 April 2012, 14:00 – 15:30 Against the backdrop of the Danish EU Presidency and the European Commission’s energy roadmap, this session will explore Europe’s energy future. Denmark’s Energy minister, Martin Lidegaard, will chair a discussion that asks leading industry figures how they see the development of the industry after 2020. Join this session to hear senior representatives from some of wind’s best-known companies react to strategies being mapped out at EU level.
Thursday, 19 April 2012, 11:00 – 12:30 After four days of conference, you have absorbed a huge amount of information – make sure you remember it! This session is your session – by actively discussing with your peers, you will remind yourself of what you have learnt, and take far more away with you. Come with an open mind and find out what the track chairs and other delegates consider to be the most crucial lessons for our industry to take from the event.
