14th Annual Conference and Project Expo

The Annual LMOP Conference and Project Expo was one of the most anticipated conferences of the year! For this year's conference, we were thrilled to return to the Hilton Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland. Attendees learned about the latest projects, technologies, and financial incentives; once again, the conference included technical presentations, exhibits, and a Project Expo. The event also included a ceremony to present the 2010 LMOP Partner and Project of the Year Awards. Listed below are the panels held at the conference and the speakers who presented.
