The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) will host its annual conference in Boston on March 5-7, 2013.

The presenters at the Building Energy 13 conference will include many experts familiar to readers of Green Building Advisor, including Adam Cohen, Chris Corson, Mike Duclos, Gary Klein, Katrin Klingenberg, Greg Pedrick, Bill Rose, Marc Rosenbaum, Carter Scott, Linda Wigington, and Alex Wilson.

Stump the Energy Nerd

GBA’s own Martin Holladay will be there as well. Holladay will be participating in an event on the trade show floor called “Stump the Energy Nerd.” According to the official program, “Bruce Coldham will be the MC and queue the questions from the immediate audience — and from other conference attendees that submit them. Got a question, a bone to pick, or an axe to grind? We got time.”

Holladay will also be one of the “thought leaders” participating in the closing forum, “What will be the hot topics at BE25?” Moderated by Paul Eldrenkamp, the forum “will offer an engaged response to the too-rarely asked question: ‘Just where are we going with all of this?’”
