The North American Wind Energy Academy (NAWEA)/WindTech 2021 Conference will be in person and interactive. While no one can guarantee that travel and large conferences will be allowable by September, organizers are committed to an in-person conference. Options for virtual attendance and webinars of the plenary presentations at a reduced registration fee are being investigated to augment the in-person event and maximize access. If the conference needs to be delayed to meet the objective of an in-person conference, organizers will make that announcement as soon as possible.
