September:

The summer is over and the tradeshows are back up and running.  Batteries and Energy Storage has been a major topic all year long for AltEnergyMag.com, and The Battery Show is a premier tradeshow for this sector.  I included EU PVSEC in the list even though it is over in Europe, but it is an important show and well worth attending if possible.
