Should Designers or Tech managers Attend the TIA's ICT Green Boot Camp?

Held in San Jose on March 18, The ICT Green Boot Camp  Features Interactive Panel Discussions on Green Design and Market Access, Policy and the Low-Carbon Economy and Business Opportunities in Green ICT

 It looks like the TIA has gotten on the sustainability bandwagon – and not a moment too soon. This workshop/boot camp should provide an excellent overview on why and how environmental performance is rapidly becoming a must-have checkbox for the electronic equipment being purchased by many government agencies and corporations. Although this half-day event is intended primarily for tech managers and a bit further up the food chain than I’d normally be writing about here, the topics they’re talking about are driving how we will design the next generation of telecom and data center equipment. Even if the topics are too high-level to be of interest to you or any other engineering staff, it would be worth you while to talk someone in the marketing department into attending.

I'm joining a few relevant communities per suggestion of Max Maxfield. I head up Leavitt Communications (www.leavcom.com), an international marketing communications firm located in San Diego County. We represent some architectural and engineering clients so am very interested in keeping abreast of salient green design, energy, technology issues. We also just launched our blog on March 5th- http://leavcom.com/wordpress/; so would also welcome relevant comments for discussion too. You can also reach me at neal@leavcom.com. Thank you.

I am after the technical information and type of sensor found in the motor windings of the Vectrix motor (the sensor is not accessable). I am part of a team refitting an EV for the Zero race. Would anyone be able to direct me to a contact which may have the technical information on sensor type etc. taa Chris

Green Power is a very broad topic that encompases everyting from solar panels to smart buildings, something that makes it difficult to present in a way that's relevant to the electrical engineering comunity. That's why it's taken about a decade worth of trial and error to come up with with the approach to covering green power and related technologies that you see here on TechBites. For details on what we'll be covering here, see my blog entry "An Introduction to the Green Power Community" http://www.techbites.com/20090925590/myblog/blog/from-buzzword-to-bottom-line-an-introduction-to-the-green-power-community.html.
