The culmination of the world's largest clean technology business competition is our annual Awards Gala designed to showcase the boldest cleantech ideas, the most ambitious entrepreneurs and the brightest, most engaged investors, venture capitalists and prospective technology customers.

This year's Gala will be our most spectacular event to date. Join us at the elegant Masonic Center in the heart of San Francisco for a Clean Technology Expo, displaying the most promising clean technology companies throughout the country and throughout the world.

In the main auditorium, watch cutting edge technology pitches and demonstrations from clean technology entrepreneurs. Audience members are invited to participate by voting for the "Peoples' Choice Award" of their favorite companies and technologies. Finally, enjoy the high caliber keynote speakers and celebrate with us as we announce the 2009 National Cleantech Open Grand Prize Winner and present the Grand Prize package.

Bill Weihl, Google Green Energy Czar, will headline the event. Find out more about Bill here, and then buy your ticket to hear him speak!
