The Summit follows the American Wind Energy Association's (AWEA's) annual WINDPOWER Conference and Exhibition, June 4-7, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Each year, AWEA's WINDPOWER conference brings together the industry's leading wind energy professionals from around the world for 3 days of conference sessions and an interactive tradeshow where exhibitors showcase their products and services.

On the day following WINDPOWER, the Wind Powering America (WPA) program convenes its Annual State Summit. The Summit provides Wind Powering America's network of state wind working groups, state energy officials, DOE and national lab WPA representatives and its professional and institutional partners an opportunity to review successes, opportunities and challenges for wind at the state level. Participants share strategies/lessons learned, review priority activities/topics, and celebrate and recognize accomplishments among peers. The Summit features plenary sessions, regional and state breakouts, and smaller group discussions on focused issues, as well as presentations and remarks from invited national guest speakers. Summit participants will include leaders of Wind Powering America's state wind working groups, institutional partners, wind industry experts, and DOE and National Laboratory staff.
