First International Plug-In Hybrid Convention to Be Held in California July 21-24

The first-ever international conference dedicated exclusively to plug-in electric hybrid technology will be held in California's Silicon Valley next week.

"Plug-In 2008: A Short Drive to Tomorrow" takes place July 21-24 in San Jose. The event is open to anyone and on-site registration is available.

Admission isn't cheap, with full access to the conference starting at $250 for students with ID, but everyone who's anyone in the PHEV world will be there. Among the attendees:

• Senior representatives from the automakers, high-tech component manufacturers, electric utilities, state and federal government.
• Exhibitors who will showcase the latest innovations associated with PHEVs and supporting electricity infrastructure.
• Scientists who will share current technical research on PHEVs in areas including batteries, powertrains and vehicle to home technology.
• Analysts who will discuss the business case for PHEVs, including potential adoption scenarios, customer segments and profit potential.
• Policymakers who will explain how regulations impact PHEVs and the electricity grid, and how future rules may accelerate PHEV adoption.
• Clean-tech entrepreneurs who will outline their ideas to expand the PHEV market with new technologies for vehicles and communication systems.
