We’ve just unveiled a brand new O’Reilly event, in an area you might not expect–but we think you’ll be just as excited about the subject matter as we are. The first-ever O’Reilly Energy Innovation Conference will take place August 22-24 in San Francisco, and we’ve just opened the call for participation. The event will focus on the technology being used to save energy of all kinds as well as tools that help conserve energy.

As Allison Randal wrote in her O’Reilly Radar post about it: “It’ll be an interesting conference–a cross section of makers, inventors, VCs, university researchers, car manufacturers, petroleum companies, power distribution companies, government departments, and others, all exploring practical solutions to our energy problems.” So we hope to see you there.
