Regular readers will recognize the Clean Economy Network from my past mentions of the organization, which has been establishing itself as a nonpartisan voice and community convener for the cleantech industry in Washington, D.C. and in regional chapters across North America.

They're going to be hosting their first annual Clean Economy Summit next week.  An invite-only event to bring together 150 cleantech CEOs, investors and top policymakers for two days of networking and market/policy planning.  I'm looking forward to the event, which promises to be a pretty interesting crowd.

As we look forward to the next wave of U.S. cleantech, what market and policy priorities do you think should emphasized by this group?  Given current economic and political constraints, what are the most important things for this crowd to keep in mind over those two days?  As co-chair of the Clean Economy Network Education Fund's board, I'm going to be handling a few of the emcee duties, and I'd like to insert some of YOUR thoughts and concerns and ideas... So if you'd like to, please share yours in the comments section below this post.  We're all trying to build a robust cleantech community, and while this is a pretty exclusive event, I'd like to help make it inclusive as well...

Also, if you get a chance, check out CEN's new blog, Clean Economy Capitol.  Well worth checking out.

I'll report back from the Summit. Stay tuned.
