The American Renewable Energy Institute (AREI) highlights innovative solutions by leading thinkers in clean technology, renewable energy, and sustainability. AREI operates under the fundamental principles of the five “E’s”— Energy, Education, Environment, Economy, and Employment. The annual AREDAY Summit, Expo and Film Festival in Aspen, CO provides a road map to a renewable energy future. Since 2004, the American Renewable Energy Day (AREDAY) Summit has gathered top leaders and educators to promote the rapid deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency strategies via demonstrations, presentations, performances, film screenings, and dialogue. Each year, AREDAY hosts nationally and internationally renowned presenters and speakers, attracting attendees from across the globe – resulting in unique, powerful cross-sector collaborations and actions towards solving global warming and climate change issues.
