Appropriate Technology Retailers Association of Australia (ATRAA) will be holding its 31st conference at the Sebel and Citigate Albert Park, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia from 31st July to 2nd August 2008. This event represents the only forum where Australian installers, distributors and suppliers of solar energy products and services come together to discuss business.
In addition to the formal business discussions, **ATRAA 2008** provides an opportunity to network with others in the industry, including representatives of the newly established Clean Energy Council (formerly BCSE and Auswind). Since the Council’s formation much effort has been placed on securing positive government policy and legislative initiatives to advance the interests of the Australian PV sector including representations on Feed In Tariffs, Rebate Schemes the future of MRET and Emissions Trading in Australia. **ATRAA 2008** presents a timely opportunity to discuss some of the work that has been undertaken by the Council and future directions.
