Roundtable Sessions

The heart of the meeting consists of manufacturer-specific roundtables for users group members only. The format consists of open discussions, moderated by Roundtable Chairpersons, centered on a specific wind turbine, solar, or energy storage model and component. The Roundtables provide the opportunity for frank and open discussion among users, who share their information, knowledge and experience.

Participation in the Roundtables is limited to employees of ESIG member organizations that own, operate, or maintain wind generation equipment.
