Is it a watershed in our industry? Or just bad management?

Media company O'Reill—best known for its IT books—has abandoned its planned energy industry conference.

Titled "Energy Innovation" and scheduled for August 22nd through 24th in San Francisco, the conference has been "postponed," organizers admitted to the Cleantech Group.

Indeed, the conference's website has been taken down and removed with a placeholder.

Registrations had been disappointing, the head of marketing intimated.
