I haven’t been shy to say that I think the inaugural Renewable Cities Global Learning Forum was the best “conference” I’ve ever attended. It offered a perfect mix of inspiration, industry updates, useful case studies, attendee engagement, and, importantly, stimuli for action. It inspired me to kick of CleanTechnica‘s own “Cleantech Freakin’ … [continued]
