&lt;p&gt;The UK is undoubtedly a global leader for the development of offshore wind energy.&amp;nbsp; In 2011, more offshore wind farms were built around the UK than in any other country across the world.&amp;nbsp; Ranked as one of the top 10 producers of wind power, the UK also has the world's largest consented offshore wind farm in the London Array Project, with the construction of Phase One scheduled to be complete by the end of 2012.&amp;nbsp; With a favourable combination of wind resource, supporting legislation and fiscal incentives, the UK is widely regarded as a key target for investment in offshore wind energy.&lt;/p&gt;

Competitors or Collaborators? Exploring the Interplay Between Renewable Energy &amp;amp; Other Fuel Sources &lt;br /&gt;
As the renewable energy industry begins to show signs of reaching price parity, with PPAs coming down, now is the time to put the sector into a broader energy context. In this new session for 2012, panelists will explore the relationship between renewable energy and other parts of the energy industry, including:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The evolution of natural gas markets and the natural interplay with renewables &amp;ndash; can these technologies complement each other?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;What does the renewable energy sector need to know about the shale gas revolution?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Broadening the debate: What role can be played by demand response, peaking support, storage, energy efficiency and electric vehicles? Where do they interface with the renewables market?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Increased market share: How realistic is it that renewable energy and its collaborators could compete effectively with traditional fossil fuels?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Renaissance of Wind Finance&lt;br /&gt;
As Federal subsidies evaporate, the wind sector is certainly in a blustery period. In this session, panelists will debate the future of the sector and explore how you can steer your way past the challenges and still deliver a profitable project. Issues for debate include: &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;What is the real impact of the expiration of both the PTC and the ITC on wind financing and projects? How can you get around the reversed optionality?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;How will the non-renewal of the Section 1603 cash grant program affect the willingness of capital providers to get involved in wind projects?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Siting and permitting issues &amp;ndash; getting it right&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Offshore wind &amp;ndash; how will this change the forecast of wind finance, and what opportunities are there to play in this space as a smaller company?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This workshop is the 2nd in a series** sponsored by Navigant, and serving as a key element of two U.S. DOE-funded reports on the U.S. offshore wind industry. The reports will examine the existing U.S. offshore wind supply chain, identify current and anticipated gaps, consider the barriers to filling these gaps, and recommend strategies for developing a robust supply chain with a focus on identifying market-entry pathways for new manufacturers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wind industry stakeholders from around the U.S. are providing input to a survey designed by the Navigant Consortium to develop the first comprehensive analysis of the U.S. offshore wind supply chain and to recommend needed policy changes. The workshop will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to review the survey&amp;rsquo;s supply chain findings and provide additional input to confirm and supplement survey results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether submitting a proposal for a billion dollar launch services contract or a grounds maintenance contract, the rules of engagement are basically the same. For government contractors who understand the rules, the results are enhanced &amp;ldquo;win ratios&amp;rdquo; and company profits. For those who do not, the results can be just the opposite, and you can fall victim to &amp;ldquo;incumbentitis,&amp;rdquo; unprofitability, unintended consequences, or worse. Come and listen to our panel of experts from both inside and outside government as they discuss winning strategies for developing successful government contracting proposals.&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{1B6A5375-1227-445E-AD54-738F225308F0}</guid><link>http://www.navigant.com/insights/events/2012/05/24/fcpa_for_journalists/</link><title>FCPA for Journalists</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Main Justice Editor-in-Chief Mary Jacoby, a Washington, D.C., veteran reporter, will offer the unvarnished perspective of a journalist covering the FCPA.&amp;nbsp; Former Justice Department Fraud Section Chief Steve Tyrrell will explain enforcement.&amp;nbsp; Navigant Consulting Inc.&amp;rsquo;s Ellen Zimiles will give the forensic investigations perspective. &lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{55F6D837-8570-47DF-A755-DBB2941761A0}</guid><link>http://www.navigant.com/insights/events/2012/05/23/constructing-scheduling-games-people-play/</link><title>Constructing Scheduling Games People Play</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Not all schedule &amp;ldquo;games&amp;rdquo; are intended to gain an edge for the owner.

Virtually every company interacts to some degree with domestic government and regulatory officials who could corruptly seek money or &amp;ldquo;favors&amp;rdquo; in return for preferential treatment. On the private side, company employees could look to enhance the bottom line by &amp;ldquo;greasing the skids&amp;rdquo; with customers or suppliers. Such conduct can expose companies to criminal liability under laws like the Travel Act, the federal fraud statutes and state public-corruption statutes. Yet, too often, companies today in managing compliance do not prioritize domestic corruption risks. This discussion will address recent developments in judicial and prosecutorial trends regarding domestic corruption, provide practical insight into how the federal government conducts corruption investigations and prosecutions, and suggest practical ways to counter the risk posed by the government&amp;rsquo;s fight against corruption.</description><pubDate>Thu, 17 May 2012 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{829014AD-8595-4900-B576-63C023B03AC3}</guid><link>http://www.navigant.com/insights/events/2012/05/17/implications_profits_performance/</link><title>“Hospital-Physician Alignment: Implications on Profits and Performance” at 2012 Becker’s Hospital Review Annual Meeting</title><description>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

Cutting through all the complexity and understanding what natural gas can do for the nation, and the world, starts with answering three key questions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Is there enough accessible natural gas to support widespread use for an extended period of time?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Can the natural gas resource go to market at reasonable prices, and quickly enough to support aggressive growth in use?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Do current dislocations in the market undermine the ability to come to market at stable prices? &lt;/li&gt;
