Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2019, SPIE-switch
Join us for SPIE Bay Area’s annual information-sharing and networking event showcasing some of the most innovative ideas that are changing how we make, use, and think about energy.
Our 2018 keynote speaker Sally Benson, co-director of Stanford’s Precourt Institute for Energy, heads a diverse lineup of expert speakers from academic, government, private sector, and nonprofit backgrounds.
Topics include:
• Dispatchable infrastructure and mobile solutions for a flexing, dynamic grid
• Innovative solar and sustainable development in tribal communities
• The latest real-world developments in carbon storage and Smart Homes/Smart Cities
• A Silicon Valley moon shot aiming to mitigate climate change by restoring Arctic ice
• And much more!
SPIE-switch is a great opportunity to learn about cutting-edge ideas and network with professionals who are driving social change and innovation in the energy industry.
Space is limited, so reserve your spot now. See you there!
Similar to a TED talk, but quite different as well. Ten speakers, and a Keynote guest, each present very short and severely focused talks. Each presentation is a mere five minutes long.
Each switch~ event features 10 speakers, each presenting their idea via a 5-minute presentation along the lines of a TedX presentation. Ideas can run the gamut of the energy industry: fossil and renewable sources, a new technology, a process, a business model or global market trends, or energy demands in a specific industry, such as construction or agriculture.
SPIE-switch is an opportunity for energy change-makers to meet, spread cutting-edge ideas, and network with other professionals who are driving social change and industry innovation. For a sample of talks from prior SPIE-switch events in the Bay Area and the original events in Colorado, please visit http://www.youtube.com/user/switchboulder.
Feedback from attendees of the 2017 SPIE switch event has been very enthusiastic and positive. We are planning another exciting lineup of speakers and topics that will inform and entertain our diverse audience of industry professionals,students, researchers and others who find the energy sector fascinating.
2017 Keynote Speaker Mark Platshon describes the energy revolution going on in the world today.
