Last week, President Obama told us in his 2011 State of the Union address

From February 28 - March 2, ARPA-E and partner organizations will host the second annual ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit

One of the Summit's biggest draws is the Technology Showcase

In addition to getting a glimpse of some of tomorrow's technologies, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from energy leaders such as Energy Secretary Steven Chu, U.S. Navy Secretary Raymond Mabus, Bank of America Chairman and former DuPont CEO Charles (Chad) O. Holliday, Jr. and many other notable speakers and panelists

Last week, the President told us that "we've begun to reinvent our energy policy. We're not just handing out money. We're issuing a challenge." Hundreds of the leaders who are stepping up to this challenge will be at the 2011 Summit. I hope you will join us.
