&lt;p&gt;Getting a job in the green economy means networking. After all people hire people, not resumes. When it comes to green conferences there are several upcoming events that I can&#39;t wait to check out. If you want a green job, these are the events you should be attending. Not only will you learn a lot about going green, but you&#39;ll make some great contacts to grow your green network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;1. Good Jobs Green Jobs&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;When:&lt;/b&gt; May 4-6, 2010&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where:&lt;/b&gt; Washington D.C.&lt;br&gt;Website&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This event is expected to attract almost 4,000 people and features several speakers from the federal government including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Colorado Governor Bill Ritter.

Windpower 2010&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;When:&lt;/b&gt;  May 23-26, 2010&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where:&lt;/b&gt; Dallas&lt;br&gt;Website&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/vault.com/folders/Jing/media/7367eec4-5134-4039-9234-5a7aaf052257/2010-04-20_1013.png&quot; width=&quot;316&quot; height=&quot;241&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Green Jobs&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; title=&quot;This computer generated architectural image provided by the U.S. General Services Administration shows a series of 250-foot-tall trellises designed to shade the west side of the 18-story Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building in Portland. The green wall concept is familiar to anyone who has planted a deciduous tree or used a vine-covered trellis on the west side of the house: In the summer the leaves provide cooling shade; in the winter, the bare limbs and stems admit comforting light.&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is perhaps the biggest event to be held all year. According to their website, last year&#39;s event drew &lt;b&gt;23,000 attendees&lt;/b&gt; and 1,280 exhibitors. Former President Bush is the featured speaker. After looking at the speaker and exhibitor list, anybody who is anyone is going to be there. Texas is the wind power capital of the U.S. (about 20 percent of the state&#39;s power comes from wind). If you want to work in wind this is the conference for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;3.
