Side Events

Side meetings and workshops will be held on Monday, October 13 and Tuesday, October 14 in the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center at UT Dallas. This page provides information for both prospective meeting hosts and meeting attendees.

Workshops and side meetings may be either public (open registration) or private (no formal registration; invitation by meeting host).  Payment for the meeting space will be the responsibility of the meeting host. Hosts, please do not sign up through the Alumni Center webpage—instead, contact Misha Sinner (michael.sinner@nrel.gov) to express interest in hosting a meeting. Attendance to the meetings will be free of charge… Attendance to the meetings will be free of charge for the attendees, unless the meeting host decides to charge an attendance fee to cover the costs of the space booking. No expectations are made about whether meeting hosts or attendees also attend the NAWEA/WindTech conference. The conference hotel rate will be made available to the meeting hosts and attendees.

Lunch and refreshment breaks are included in the cost of the room. We are currently working through the details of this and will confirm with meeting hosts once this is finalized.

Registration to attend meetings will depend on whether they are private or public. Public meetings/workshops will require registration through the conference website via a separate registration form from the conference registration. Attendance to private meetings will be by invitation, with hosts managing attendance. Public meetings will have information posted on the conference website by the time that conference and public meeting registration opens.

If you are interested in hosting a meeting, please reach out to Misha Sinner (michael.sinner@nrel.gov )
for a list of available rooms and associated costs.
