IEEE Green Technologies Conferences

The IEEE Green Technologies Conferences, endorsed by Region 5 and hosted by one or more Region 5 sections, "bring together scientists, researchers and practitioners from around the world to develop realistic solutions to the current energy crisis, and to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions." (As described in the narrative history report of the 2012 Green Tech Conference.) The following lists provide links to narrative histories for each of the first four Green Tech Conferences and to the procedings of the second through the fourth Green Tech Conferences. (Note: All of the narrative history reports were authored by Patrick Meyer.)
