October 20-22, 2008
Monday and Tuesday, October 20 & 21, with a
unique one-day tutorial on Wednesday, October 22
Highlights of the conference program will include:
- the social and political context for sustainability,
- how to define sustainability and how to measure sustainability (how big is your carbon footprint?),
- how renewable fuels fit into the "sustainability picture", including carbon credits
- real, large scale implementation of sustainable projects in our community.
Who should attend?
Community leaders, renewable, energy producers and consumers, ethanol users and producers, State and federal policy and decision-makers, forest owners, farmers, food processors, loggers and wood harvesters, wood or agricultural scientists, economists and investors and citizens committed to a sustainable future.
This second conference program will focus on strategies to bring bio-based fuels and other bio-products to market here in NYS. If the price of gas has your attention, you should attend this conference.
"The program offered a nice mix of technology and commerical / business issues."
Last year's attendees commented on high quality of speakers, the variety of presentations with enough time to allow depth, a chance to network, order of how presenters progressed: why, who, how – bringing all sides together.
