Making a Splash: Innovative Program for Energy, Water, and Cost Savings Returns to Minnesota

Early Bird registration ends Tuesday, January 15th
at midnight, so reserve your spot now and save!

The CERTs Conference is Minnesota's biggest community-based energy event, and it only happens once every two years
(so you don't want to miss it).

With registration deadlines just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get your tickets to the CERTs 2013 Conference on February 20-21 in Saint Cloud.

The conference is especially unique this year because it is completely focused on projects and advancing workable models here in Minnesota.

Watch the video below to let Joel Haskard with CERTs tell you why you should attend and be sure to bring your colleagues with you, and read on to learn more about new Regional Sessions and the the overall agenda.

You will return home after the CERTs Conference with connections, project ideas, and collaborators who live and work in your area.

The conference will culminate in project-focused Regional Sessions that allow you to do just that. Because it’s the first time we’ve done something like this, we wanted to fill you in more about exactly what the Regional Sessions hold in store.

The ultimate goal of the CERTs Conference Regional Sessions is to identify five energy efficiency or renewable energy projects that can be implemented by the next CERTs Conference in February 2015.

The project ideas are yours to come up with and bring forward. You might already have a group behind an idea that just needs an extra nudge, or you might have an idea that you just know would work, but you need a few more hands to make it happen. Whatever the case, we hope YOU will come ready to share your project idea(s) and recruit others to your clean energy cause.

CERTs 2013 will begin with In-Depth Workshops and an Evening Reception on February 20th, and continue with a Daylong Conference on the 21st.

We will dive into success stories across the range of technologies and sectors, and meet as individual regions to discuss projects that communities want to advance (as described above).

CERTs 2013 will be a place for you to connect with old friends and colleagues and develop new relationships that can help you advance your work.
