Mark Your Calendar! Don’t miss Platts 2008 Transmission Planning and Development Forum, September 15–16, 2008 in Baltimore, MD! Hear what some of last year’s attendees had to say: “I will always attend Platts conferences. Very well organized.” — Anonymous “The annual Platts Transmission conferences are the most thought-provoking, policy development-related meetings that I attend.” — Tom Sloan, Kansas Legislature “I speak at numerous legislative and wind energy meetings each year. The 2006 and 2007 Platts Transmission conferences elicited more questions about how legislatures can be engaged in transmission discussions than any of my other public appearances. The 2006 meeting also had more follow-up contacts to me than any other meeting, and I expect this meeting to have similar residual benefits." — Tom Sloan, Kansas Legislature “High quality and well prepared speakers.” — Aubrey Jackson, Thomas & Betts “High quality 10-30,000 ft review of the many important issues and decisions facing our transmission industry and interesting looks forward.” — Doug Sherman, Valmont-Newmark “A very diverse group with different ideas on the same issues — wow! What a learning experience.” — Shawn G. Kelly, Mass.
