Algae Commercialization:
Business Roundtable, Research and Networking Forum October 23-24, 2008
ADVANCED CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS AND PAPERS
The National Algae Association is growing at an astronomical rate. We are the first national trade association for the algae industry in the United States, and we have doubled in size just in the last three months. We had very informative presentations from algae researchers and algae companies at our conference in July. People from 25 states, 4 countries and 8 universities registered for that conference. Due to the high cost of oil, commercializing the algae oil industry is now put on a fast track. We need to get off foreign oil and to bring back energy security to the US. Collaboration, innovation and commercialization are the motivating factors of our organization.
We will be structuring the next conference differently than the one we just completed, and we are now requesting algae research and company presentations in order to commit to an agenda. If you would like to be considered as a speaker, please submit your presentations and papers at your earliest convenience. Also, if you are interested in becoming a group leader for research, operations, equipment/construction or financing teams, please let us know.

If you are working on algae and you have an innovative or breakthrough technology you would like to present to a large group of investors, biofuels producers, scientists and researchers, you are invited to submit your presentations for review for the next National Algae Association event. We are seeking presentations from experienced subject matter experts, organizations, institutions or scientists with applied knowledge in biology, biochemical engineering, plant physiology, petrochemical or refinery engineering, mechanical/process design engineering, and entrepreneurs who can effectively communicate scientific knowledge into business language for biofuels producers, investors, and entrepreneurs.
We are planning for the biggest conference to date and we need to start preparing for it now.
In the beginning, there was algae, but there was no oil.
Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae is still there, but oil is fast depleting.
In the future, there will be no oil, but there wiill still be algae.
With oil over $125 a barrel, doesn't it make sense to commercialize algae oil
production, and get off of foreign oil?
