Accelerate 2007, a conference to explore new ideas in technology, manufacturing, energy and the environment, will be held on Wednesday, May 9, at the OnCenter in downtown Syracuse. The conference is designed for all individuals and organizations with an interest in creating vibrant, sustainable businesses and communities in upstate New York.

The morning keynote address, “The Business Case for Clean Energy,” will be delivered by Dan Reicher, director for climate change and energy initiatives with Google.org and former assistant secretary of energy with the U.S. Department of Energy. The afternoon keynote address, “Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature,” will be given by Janine Benyus, an author and renowned innovation consultant who has been noted as “having the most significant influence on the direction of technology and manufacturing for the next 100 years.” The MACNY Banquet keynote speaker will be Peter Morici, professor of international business at the University of Maryland and a former director of economics at the U.S. International Trade Commission.

Education sessions offered during the day will follow six tracks: Building Tomorrow’s Workforce; Business Growth; Clean and Renewable Energy; Community and Development; Manufacturing Excellence; and Technology Trends.
