The FY2015 Summer Meeting of the Technology Transfer Working Group (TTWG) will be held on June 17, 2015 at the Gaylord National Hotel in National Harbor, MD.
The theme for the meeting is "Make an IMPACT: Innovative Models and Practices for Accelerating the Commercialization of Technology"
To view the proposed agenda, please click on "Timetable" to the left. To view all invited speakers and topics, please click on "Detailed View". As always, specific speakers may change between now and the event, but the topics are fairly solid. However, we are hoping to entice the Secretary of Energy to open our session, which should help secure the participation of other senior officials at DOE. We are currently working with the Office of Technology Transitions on the invitations.
The meeting is open to all TTWG members and invited guests. The meeting is being held in conjunction with the National Innovation Summit. You are NOT required to attend the National Innovation Summit in order to attend the TTWG meeting or to secure hotel accomodations at the conference rate.
This registration page has been established so that we can ensure that all TTWG meeting attendees will have a one-day badge (no cost) to attend the meeting and so that we can ensure adequate seating.
Accommodations are available at the Gaylord National Hotel and the conference rate of $229+tax per night (government rate) should be available if you register before May 15, 2015. For more information, please visit the National Innovation Summit website at http://nationalinnovationsummit.com/about/venue.html.
Please note that registration HERE does not register you for the National Innovation Summit. If you are planning to also attend the Summit, you will need to visit the TechConnect website to complete that registration separately.
