AWEA - American Wind Energy Association

Successful abstracts should have the following characteristics:

•    Abstracts must be well organized and clearly describe their relevance to the industry and how
     the information presented could be applied or used in practice. Applicants are encouraged to
     use case studies, offer solutions, and include specifics.
•    Should consider perspectives, methods and strategies for maintaining and increasing
     profitability in an environment of technical, economic and political change.
•    New concept or presents a new perspective or data on known material.
•    Keep in mind that the conference audience is a mix of beginners and experts, but
     presentations should offer in-depth content.
•    Business and Policy abstracts should be practical and stray from being too general. Technical
     and scientific abstracts should be specialized with detailed information.
•    No Marketing or Promotional Materials.

All abstracts are reviewed by the WINDPOWER Conference Program Committee, which consists of over 100 wind industry experts representing a wide range of sectors. Primary authors will be notified by Friday, February 22, 2013 if their abstracts are selected. Please do not contact AWEA before this date, as it will only delay the process.

2. It is possible to submit more than one abstract. However, only one presenting author per abstract is permitted.

3. You can save and continue to work on your abstract up until you submit it. Once the abstract is submitted, it will be made available for review immediately and it can no longer be edited. Make sure to submit your abstract for review by the February 15th deadline.

4. Please note that late submissions will not be considered. AWEA reserves the right to reject any abstracts for failure to comply with submission guidelines mentioned on this website.
