AES2010 will bring together the leaders of energy storage technologies and applications to identify and address the major issues surrounding the energy storage industry. We will discuss the integration of high performance materials, components, systems and applications intended to improve the generation of renewable energy and the transmission of power through a smart grid system.

The conference exhibitors, speakers and attendees will include the scientific and engineering experts who have been leading the development of high performance technologies. We'll learn how new electrode materials, electrolytes and products will economically integrate advanced energy storage systems into all of the revolutionary new efforts to improve our energy future.

The conference structure will be unique in that it will begin to answer some of the key questions that have defined the business plans, research and development programs, and funding priorities encountered by a variety of energy storage operations. Each session will include short updates from industry leaders followed by open panel sessions that will focus on specific questions.

For example:

-- Are hybrid technologies best employed as systems or integrated packages? -- Are there realistic technology paths leading to higher voltage battery or ultracapacitor cells? -- Will a national priority on energy independence translate to high levels of venture funding?

We encourage you to propose additional questions and topics that should be addressed by the industry experts in attendances.
