The American Solar Energy Society (ASES) and the World Renewable Energy Network (WREN) present America’s longest-running solar conference series, now in its 41st year.

The ASES National Solar Conference (NSC) is the longest-running educational event for solar energy professionals in North America. This year, under the joint sponsorship of the nonprofit ASES and WREN, NSC becomes World Renewable Energy Forum (WREF).

WREF gathers the planet’s top solar energy experts in all topical areas: research, technology transfer, manufacturing, installation, utilities, environment, buildings, policy, professional education, workforce development and consumer education.

Many sessions will offer continuing education credits for architects, installers, engineers and educators.

There is no better place to continue your professional education in solar energy than the World Renewable Energy Forum!

WREF is put together by a large team of staff and volunteers under the supervision of ASES and its local chapter, the Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES), the International Solar Energy Society (ISES), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), an agency of the U.S. Department of Energy, and WREN.

The WREF program also benefits from the expertise of participating organizations, including American Institute of Architects (AIA), the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), Society of Building Science Educators (SBSE), THE Solar Rating and Certification Copr. (SRCC), and many others.
