Invitation
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in our flagship event for 2010 - 'Australia’s
Energy – Next Generation’. The efficient conversion, distribution and use of energy in Australia
is a cornerstone of our economy. However, like most advanced economies, Australia needs to
greatly reduce its emissions from energy conversion and use. This challenge will stimulate a
major restructure in the way we produce electricity, and use other forms of energy. But our
challenge is not only in the technology and engineering that provide these solutions, but also to
our 'next generation' of energy professionals. The conference organisers are to be commended
for providing a focus on the incoming energy professions – Young Energy Professionals (YEPs).
It is this group of energy engineers, economists, lawyers and other professionals that will set
the scene for our energy future. In the absence of a clear national energy policy this is a
challenging task. The AIE is very pleased to host this event and to provide a forum for our
current and incoming energy professionals to meet this challenge head on.

AIE National Conference—A Rare Opportunity!
Australia’s Energy - Next Generation is a much needed Conference that focuses on traditional and
future energy sources. The speakers will challenge you on emerging technologies, carbon
reduction, consumer demand, transport and alternative fuels plus nuclear for Australia.
It is a Conference that will:
• identify how Australia is placed in the world and regional competitive energy spectrum,
and
• address the required leadership and challenges for Australia to develop a secure and
sustainable energy future.
Unique to this Conference is the Young Energy Professionals perspective on Australia’s future
energy needs, directions and leadership.
The AIE has carefully developed a robust Conference program incorporating a combination of
high profile international and national experts plus energy professionals—all well qualified to
address Australia’s future energy strategies.
Australia’s Energy - Next Generation is a Conference for all leaders and professionals in the
energy and associated sectors, who value the opinions and strategies offered by national and
international energy experts and who seek a more secure and sustainable energy future for
their industry and for Australia.
Host City—Adelaide
Adelaide is a compact city of approximately 1.2 million
people, situated between the beautiful Adelaide Hills
and the long white beaches of the Gulf of St Vincent.
Settled in 1836, Adelaide retains much of the charm and
tranquillity of the past while offering all the vigour, multicultural
diversity and conveniences of a modern city.
Adelaide is known for its biennial Arts Festival, its many
churches and graceful stone buildings and its location
within an hour's drive of some of Australia's most famous
and beautiful wine producing regions. This conference
provides the opportunity to undertake pre- or postconference
activities and tours to visit South Australian
attractions such as the Barossa Valley, Kangaroo Island
and the beautiful Flinders Ranges, as well as other
sights closer to the city.
