Organizers of America’s Largest Solar Conference and Expo Announce the Opening of Exhibit Space Sales to Public
First Days of Exhibit Sales Are Brisk Despite Economic Downturn
Washington, D.C.—On Monday, February 23, Solar Power International organizers opened exhibit space sales to the general public and by the end of the day had booked an astonishing 100 new exhibitors (in addition to the 308 priority exhibitors who had secured space in advance of the public sale date). Despite current economic realities, it appears the sixth year of this top industry event in Anaheim, California, October 27-29, will prove to be another for the record books. According to the show organizers, Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the exhibit floor is expected to sell out quickly as up to 650 companies from around the world gather to showcase their technologies. To date, 128,000 net square feet has been sold—more than last year’s overall total of 87,000 net square feet—to a total of 408 exhibitors.* Overall attendance is expected to top 25,000 in 2009.
