Geothermal energy is delivering clean, base-load and low cost electricity in 24 countries as well as heating in 82 countries for fish farms, greenhouses, breweries, and much more! While not yet fully utilized, geothermal energy is an important part of Canada’s energy future, creating new investment and jobs in Canadian communities while also contributing to a cleaner environment for future generations.

On Wednesday September 16 we will be spending the day answering all of your burning geothermal energy questions. We will begin in the morning with discussing the basic technical mechanisms of geothermal heat & power projects and Canadian opportunities, followed by a keynote address presented by Alberta's own Todd Hirsch, and we will focus the afternoon with all things policy related. This is an event you do not want to miss! 

Join us to learn how to participate in the endless opportunities presented by geothermal power & heat!
