Why exhibit at APPrO 2009?

APPrO 2009 – now expanded to three full days!

The 2009 Power Networking Centre returns to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre – this year from November 16 - 18, 2009.  Co-located for the first time with the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association (OSEA) in conjunction with OSEA's 1st Annual OSEA Community Power Conference, and of course APPrO 2009 - 21st Annual Canadian Power Conference (November 17 & 18) this event will bring together the full range of technologies and participants working to meet Ontario’s ambitious targets for new generation.  Taking place under one roof, APPrO 2009 Power Networking Centre will span three full days at the Metro Convention Centre on November 16 - 18th.

The Ontario government’s Green Energy Act and the FIT Program has provided the stimulus for a stunning array of business opportunities for both community and commercial power. With OSEA's representation of a wide range of community-oriented renewable energy project developers, and APPrO’s audience of this combination is an excellent compliment to APPrO’s focus on commercial power development.

Occupying the two days before the APPrO conference, the OSEA Community Power Conference will take place on November 15 and 16 on the 800 Level of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.  Their delegates, an expected attendance of 800 people, over and above the APPrO delegates and guests, interested in the newly created opportunity for community-based renewable power projects, will be your audience for the additional day.
