Taking place in the heart of the rapidly growing Asia-Pacific region, with an emphasis on the Chinese and Indian wind energy markets, the Australian event is the third in a series. The last two events were in Paris (2002) and Chicago (2004), attracting senior decision makers and high level industry representatives from around the world.
