The talk, which is one of the activities the association has planned for 2006, will feature two keynote speakers from Japan, Toshihiko Tanaka from Tokyo Electric Power Inc (Tepco) and Hideto Nishimura from Mitsubishi Corporation.

Tanaka, who will be presenting a talk on the concept of energy conservation, has been with Tepco since 1983. He is currently the general manager of the Energy Saving Promotion Group as well as a lecturer at numerous universities in Japan.

Meanwhile, Nishimura will be presenting a talk on new and renewable energy. He joined Mitsubishi Corporation in 1978 and is now the general manager at its Energy Business Development Department and Fuel Cell Business Office.
