For the first time ever, the whole wind energy sector will came together on the morning of 18 September 2012  for the festive opening of HUSUM WindEnergy 2012 in the new Northsea CongressCentre NCC with a glamorous event for up to 400 attendees. Presidents of the most important wind energy countries and important industry representatives will officially open the fair in festive surroundings, and in the presence of international media representatives.

The traditional reception given by the town, organised in association with Messe Husum, marks the start of the evening events in fair week. The reception on 18 September 2012 was where the wind industry traditionally meets representatives from the fields of politics, business and society for an informal get-together in Husum’s town hall on the harbour.

Dining exquisively in Husumer Schloss and making or consolidating contacts with top-flight international guests from the worlds of business and politics: That is what the exclusive Windmasters Dinner on Wednesday, 19 September 2012 was all about! The three-course menu prepared by top chefs and the stylish ambience of the historic building guarantee a unique experience.

The established programme concept of the HUSUM WindEnergy congress, with its daily international events, scientific conferences, and hourly changing “company innovations” programme continued in these modern, comfortable function rooms with great success. Congress visitors can find out about the latest wind energy topics and trends, which will be presented and discussed at over 75 specialised programmes by around 200 speakers from all over the world. This is where the world’s leading enterprises will be showcasing their latest developments.

"One party, several venues" is the motto of this year’s Windwander Festival. At least 8 bands performed at as many different venues around Husum harbour on Friday 21 September 2012 – an invitation for visitors, exhibitors and friends of HUSUM WindEnergy and all townspeople to party together.

There is already an enormous demand for qualified staff, and in the light of the advance of environmentally friendly technology this number is be expected to rise significantly.
