Thursday, May 21, 2009 from 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM (PT)
Both the American public and our new administration are accelerating our pursuit of environmentally friendly solutions. As a result, future investment will be focused on green technologies and green products. This seminar will provide tools, contacts and resources for the engineer to capitalize on this growing trend. Alternatives in green processes, materials and markets will be presented, with particular emphasis on product design and development.
The event is presented right next to the Design-2-Part Show at the Santa Clara Convention Center so that you can visit the exhibits in our mid-day break.
