Sunday Evening Keynote Address: Dr. Winfried Hoffmann: PV Solar Electricity: Technology and Markets with Special Emphasis on Flexible Solar Dr. Winfried Hoffmann graduated in physics and did his PhDthesis in biophysics.

He initiated the Joint-Venture in the photovoltaic field between NUKEM and Daimler-Benz Aerospace to form "Angewandte
Solarenergie - ASE GmbH" in 1994 where he served as Managing Director. In the same year the acquisition of 100 % shares of Mobil Solar as a subsidiary company was done. In October 2002 the Joint Venture between RWE Solutions and SCHOTT Glas, the RWE SCHOTT Solar GmbH, was formed, where he served as Chairman of the Board. Effective in 2005 SCHOTT acquired the shares of RWE Solutions and the company was renamed SCHOTT Solar GmbH where he was Member of the Management Committee.In 2007 he joined Applied Materials to become Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of the Solar Business Group and member of the Management Board of the German based Applied Materials GmbH.

Optional Networking Activities: AIMCAL Golf Scramble Ocean Links has 10 holes that feature lagoons and marsh wetlands in addition to concluding with a par three whose green is strategically placed in the waters of Red Maple Lake. The course winds through six miles of the natural sand dunes and seaside terrain that make Amelia Island so special. It can be said that this is as much a nature tour as it is a round of golf. The course yardage of 6,300 yards is somewhat deceiving since small greens, narrow fairways and prevailing winds make the course play much longer. At par 70, this 18 hole combination provides a challenge to golfers of all levels. Website: www.aipfl.com/golf/oceanlinks.htm Date: Tuesday, October 20 Cost: $150/per person In event of rain, the golf course will issue a rain check that has no expiration date. No cash refunds provided - golf course policy.  Thanks for the support of our sponsors
