Welcome to Our Conference Wiki
This wiki was set up to facilitate a web space for all attendees of the conference to collaborate in real time on ongoing information flow and to share resources and expand topics as any see fit.
- Anyone should feel free to re-organize this main page especially the organizers and panelists.
- Anyone can and should create new pages to the wiki as the topics expand or to set up impromptu message boards and threads.
- If you create a new page (by simply adding an internal link made up of at least two worded phrases like HarvestingCleanEnergyBillings that have each word capitalized and the phrase inserted between double brackets [[ ]] start the link on this page somewhere in a related topic. That's how you lego a wiki together.
- New topics on any page are create simply by making a a title between the equal == == signs. Watch, I'll create a topic now:
Pre-Conference Announcements
