The World Wind Energy Conference & Exhibition WWEC, the leading event in wind energy, taking place in a different continent each year, will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, from 15 to 17 June 2010.

The 9th World Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition WWEC2010, will be organised by the World Wind Energy Association in cooperation with EUROSOLAR Turkey. The event aims to set up a powerful platform where the major players of wind energy technologies, industries and policies are gathered together to share the latest technologies and information effecting strategic decisions.
