Attend the 2009 International Student Energy Summit

As a major Associate Partner of the 2009 International Student Energy Summit, SAIT and the MacPhail School of Energy would like to encourage you to check out the details of this incredible event, which is being held right here in Calgary, Alberta, from June 11-13, 2009 at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre. ISES is a fantastic way to engage in the current discussions surrounding the energy sector worldwide and has been specifically designed by students for students like you.

The International Student Energy Summit (ISES) is a global forum that focuses on sustainable resource management and the role that students will play in defining the future of energy development. ISES is targeting a delegate base of 500 international, multidisciplinary post secondary students in undergraduate and graduate studies interested in energy. This event will create a network of driven individuals just like you who are looking to make a difference in the energy sector. The Summit goals are to:

· Educate students about the current issues in global energy management.
· Inspire students with the knowledge and courage to challenge the current energy system.
· Encourage students to collaborate with the political, grassroots, and corporate communities, to discuss current issues and create alternative solutions and unite likeminded students motivated to lead the world to a sustainable energy future.

The ISES program focuses on three main pillars that address today's key energy issues including Finance, Regulation and Sustainability, Global Energy Cooperation, and Technology & Innovation. Program information and all other details relating to ISES can be accessed through the website at www.studentenergy.org. Registration is currently being offered at the low price of $349 CAD, which includes your delegate fee, all sessions and social events, meals during the Summit, accommodation, and free admission to the GO-EXPO exhibition (a petroleum expo held just prior to ISES).
