FCG’s Russ Ullinger selected to speak at Solar Power International (SPI ’12) in Orlando

Solar Power International 2012 expects more than 21,000 professionals from solar energy and related fields for the industry’s largest, most comprehensive solar energy event in North America. Former President Clinton is the keynote speaker and will describe the challenge of globalization, emphasize our growing interdependence, and point the way toward a common future based on shared goals and values.

Russ will be a panelist covering “Solar Technology’s Value to Economic Development/Job Creation.” Other panelists include Andrea Luecke, Executive Director of The Solar Foundation; Lee Peterson, Senior Manager of Reznick Group; and John Lefebvre, President of Suntech America.

Success at Solar Power International 2010!

Hello Everyone!

Deane and Paige have returned from L.A. with great new contacts and tons of awesome ideas! They also learned some new exciting trends at SPI,
including the fact that many foreign solar companies are actively seeking
manufacturing sites in North America in order to capture an exploding U.S.
market, and in order to meet local content requirements now in place in
Ontario, Canada.

It's Deane outside of the Los Angeles Convention Center, all ready for SPI 2010!

FCG is on the GO!

Hello Readers!

We will have a pretty full schedule over the next few weeks! Right now, Deane is in Columbus, OH for the IEDC Annual Conference. He is scheduled to give a presentation with Steve Vierck of Angelou Economics, Mike Davis of the City of Moraine, OH, and Carolyn Kennett, the Economic Development Director of Parsons, KS. The title, “Your Major Employer Leaves – What Now?” touches on creating jobs and restoring hope to areas that have been hit hard by the struggling economy in the United States. We will post the Powerpoint once the conference has come to an end.

Deane and Paige will be attending the Solar Power International 2010 trade show in Los Angeles, October 12 – 14! We sent out a flyer to a handful of exhibitors, and we are in the process of setting appointments. Are you going to the show too? Let us know!

I have yet to see any new files posted to the CoreNet Global site regarding Deane and Anatalio’s Phoenix presentation. I will post some links as soon as I see something!

Have a great week, Everyone!
