all-energy australia '09 conference in melb

HC CWE forum frequenters might recall that I posted a link to this renewable energy conference a while back noting that Oceanlinx was a silver sponsor and lamenting that Carnegie was nowhere to be seen. (I fired off an email to Carnegie at the time to let them know, btw, but I'm sure they were well aware of it anyway.)

Well, reading the paper on Friday I was checking out the ad for the conference in the business section and I noticed the Carnegie logo. CWE is now a gold sponsor of the event! Michael Ottaviano will be speaking there and since I work only a few blocks away I am going to try and see his presentation in my lunch break. The schedule for the second part of the Marine Energy Systems day two programme below:

"Conference Programme - Day Two

I am hoping that by then we will have the added benefit of having been awarded the REDP grant as well!
