More than 800 exhibitors (2008: 715 exhibitors) have registered for the 24th EU PVSEC. The space booked in the 7 exhibition halls of the International Fair in Hamburg exceeds the exhibition space of the previous EU PVSEC in Valencia 2008. Due to continuing requests for stand space, WIP announced that a waiting list has been established.
Peter Helm, Executive Conference Director, states: “The fact that the exhibition is already fully booked shows that the global PV community confirms the concept of combining the largest PV Solar Conference with the PV Industry Tradefair, making it the leading international B2B networking platform.”
Background:
For 32 years now, the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition has combined a very nameable international Scientific Conference with an Industry Exhibition. Over 5 days of conference and 4 days of exhibition, new products and technical innovations from all areas of photovoltaics and from all over the world are on show.
The 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition EU PVSEC 2009 will be held in Hamburg, Germany. The PV Solar Conference is expected to attract some 4,000 participants, and the accompanying industry exhibition around 40,000 visitors. More than 800 exhibitors will be presenting new ideas and technical solutions in the field of Photovoltaics. The EU PVSEC, which is held at different venues throughout Europe, ranks as the world–s leading event specialized in Photovoltaics. It is supported by the European Commission, UNESCO’s Natural Science Sector, the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE), the International Photovoltaic Equipment Association (IPVEA) and is realized by WIP in institutional cooperation with the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA).
