The Symposia on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals are the premier conferences on biomass utilization and conversion. The 27th Symposium continues this highly successful series with a great opportunity for experts from around the world to gather and discuss the latest research breakthroughs and results. Researchers from academia, government and industry will meet to discuss numerous approaches for improving the economics of fuel and chemical production. A variety of formal technical sessions, poster sessions, and informal discussion groups will stimulate the exchange of new information.
Mark your calendars now. The 27th Symposium will be May 1-4, 2005 at the Marriott City Center Hotel in downtown Denver, Colorado. Denver and its spring weather are both beautiful, so plan to come early. The Symposium starts Sunday afternoon. If you arrive a day or two before, you can get a better airfare, learn your way around, and enjoy the spectacular mountain setting.
