Renewable Energy Week 2012 Berlin, 24 - 28 September 2012

Dear Participant, We look forward to having you with us for what will be a period of intensive deliberations and discussions among experts from different parts of the world. To make your participation as convenient as possible, we would like to provide the following information. Venues This year’s workshop will take place at Neue Mälzerei (New Malthouse).

The listed historic building of the Neue Mälzerei belonged to the Brauerei Böhmisches Brauhaus and was built in 1899. At the end of the 19th century the Böhmische Brauhaus was the brewery with the biggest production capacity in Berlin.

The day centre Neue Mälzerei is compact and exclusive. Three halls and three seminar rooms are available on 800 square metres of event surface. The two dome halls are the special highlights of this location in which 100 years ago the malt was dried for the beer production. Squarely in their form, with 5-m-high, arched covers, they create a unique space experience. Original brick walls are found there just as in the plenary hall and in the seminar rooms. Adaptable walls permit different variants: small or bigger seminar rooms, exhibition or catering space.

This year’s Wind Energy & Development Dialogue will take place at Spreespeicher. The venue is centrally located on the border of former East- and Westberlin along the main river of Berlin Spree. Built in 1913 it has been used originally as a granary for many years.

During the 90s it turned into a very attractive location mainly for the creative industry. Today the upper levels are often used as representative offices. The lower level is known as one of the most attractive location for all kinds of events such as gala dinners, distinguished receptions, conferences and seminars.
