MIT Museum and will include over 40 presenters (see list below), drinks,
hors d'oeuvres, and a live jazz band.

Hosted by the MIT Energy Club, a major goal of Energy Night is to bring
together the science, engineering, policy, and business energy 
communities at MIT in a fun, social environment.   You will have a 
chance to meet each other and discuss ideas for new energy research and
business opportunities.  So please join us at the MIT Museum to learn more
