The Illinois Geothermal Conference will take place in Peoria, Ill, on Feb. 28-29, 2012.  Geothermal experts from across the country will present a series of training sessions on both days, and attendees also will have the opportunity to check out vendor exhibits both days of the show. The Geothermal Alliance of Illinois (GAOI) accreditation exam for service technicians, installers and loop installation will be given at the site. 

This year, the GAOI has accessed funding from Workforce Network and the State of Illinois, for this year’s Illinois Geothermal Conference. The funding can be used to support registration for the conference. The net effect is that anyone approved for the funding can attend this year’s conference essentially at no cost. Those attending the conference should register as they normally would. The early-bird, member registration price is $125; the early-bird, non-member registration is $200. 

To apply for funding, print and fill out the PDF application form on the organization’s attendee registration page.
