The 2010 IAWIND Conference will focus on technical, research and development issues including new design trends, forecasting & grid operations, improved materials and manufacturing methods, and turbine health monitoring/reliability. The IAWIND Conference will also address workforce and training issues so relevant and necessary for the wind industry.

IAWIND is a partnership among state and local governments, the community colleges, universities, the private sector, associations and community organizations, and the federal government. This state-wide effort helps coordinate the breadth of activities and capabilities in research and education taking place within the state, and catalyze activities designed to meet the research, training, and testing needs of the rapidly expanding wind energy industry.
