WEST Summit 2010On December 6th, 2010, Sustainable Silicon Valley presented the Water Energy and Smart Technology (WEST) Summit at Stanford University in order to catalyze a sea change in action towards long-term resiliency through distributed management of water and energy supply in Silicon Valley. Through panel discussions, special speakers and a lively exposition, this day-long event proved a pivotal opportunity to build relationships among academics, local businesses, and community leaders already taking action on the important nexus between water and energy usage.
