The last two years have seen a dramatic, worldwide upsurge in interest and governmental support for bioenergy. In its 30th year, the Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals is uniquely well positioned to continue to attract experts from around the world who will gather in New Orleans May 4-7, 2008, to discuss the latest research breakthroughs and results in biotechnology for fuels and chemicals.
With the two-fold increase in attendance last year, the Symposium has been encouraged to modify the meeting format to include 12 dual technical sessions to accommodate over 80 presentations, as well as a Plenary Session and two large poster sessions. In addition, a Special Topic on International Bioenergy Centers, with presentations on the plans and expectations of newly emerging bioenergy centers around the world, will be the focus of a Tuesday evening session.
