The Wind Energy Applications Training Symposium (WEATS) is an internationally-acclaimed hands-on workshop on wind energy first launched in 1988. Observe wind systems large and small in operation in the field. Meet with leaders in the U.S. wind energy industry. Get acquainted with Native American tribal members and participants from other countries. Develop useful contacts and practical expertise that will help you bring a wind energy project to fruition and ensure it operates successfully and profitably for years.

WEATS is designed for project planners, developers, utility officials, and engineers directly involved with energy projects, who are considering wind energy development and want to learn more about wind energy technology applications.

Training will be held at the National Wind Test Center (NWTC) located at Rocky Flats near Boulder, Colorado. The seminar will provide participants with practical knowledge and analytical tools for conducting project pre-feasibility and identification analysis, and implementation of wind energy projects large and small. Participants will learn from experts and business leaders about the capabilities of the technology, and about economic and financial aspects of sustain-able project development. There will also be a visit to a utility scale windfarm.
