[gl-wind] Fwd: U.S. Offshore Wind Market and Supply Chain Workshop - Hotel Discount Ends THIS MONDAY, Feb.13

/Forwarded on behalf of Bruce Hamilton, Navigant Consulting, Inc./
The Navigant Consortium[1] <#_ftn1> invites you to a */U.S. Offshore 
Wind Market and Supply Chain Workshop/* on Monday, March 5, 2012, at the 
Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park Hotel in Chicago, Illinois.

This workshop is a key element of Navigant Consulting's DOE-funded 
project to examine the existing U.S. offshore wind supply chain, 
identify current and anticipated gaps, consider the barriers to filling 
these gaps, and recommend strategies for developing a robust supply 
chain with a focus on identifying market-entry pathways for new 
manufacturers.

Wind industry stakeholders from around the U.S. have provided input to a 
survey designed by the Navigant Consortium to develop the first 
comprehensive analysis of the U.S. offshore wind supply chain and to 
recommend needed policy changes. The workshop will provide an 
opportunity for Great Lakes region stakeholders to review the survey's 
supply chain findings and provide additional input to confirm and 
supplement survey results.

Registration and a draft agenda for the workshop are available at 
https://www.glc.org/energy/wind/register.php. *The deadline for early 
bird registration is Friday, February 29*.

The workshop will be immediately followed by the AWEA Regional Wind 
Energy Summit -- Midwest 2012 
(http://www.awea.org/events/AWEA-Midwest-Wind-Energy-Markets-Seminar-2012.cfm), 
which is scheduled for March 6-7 at the same location.

_*Accommodations and Travel Information*_

Accommodations are available at the Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park 
Hotel for a discounted rate of $149 (single and double occupancy), plus 
applicable taxes. *The discounted rate will be available while group

sold out or after February 13 (whichever comes first), the hotel may
