2012 WILL BE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER
World Biofuels Markets is the best way to driveour business forward, by convening with yourpeers to network and hear from key industrythought leaders. With 3 full days ofconferences, exhibition, networking and more,it's the one event the most successful industryplayers never miss.
In fact, 92% of WBM attendees who answeredour survey believe the connections they madeand the information they garnered outweighedthe cost to attend.
Dear Colleague,
I recently read some research from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, whichstated “Investment in biofuels, biomass and waste-to-energy is projected toincrease from $14bn in 2010 to $80bn by 2020.” To put this into a renewablesperspective for you, this 2020 figure nearly represents the size of the windindustry today.
How are we actually going to achieve this? Firstly, it is imperative that ourindustry works together NOW to ensure that true growth is achieved. We onlyhave to look towards China as a case study to see how it will dominate theglobal stage in 20 years, because of investments being made today.
Secondly, in these times of economic uncertainty it is very easy for you as anindividual, and us all as an industry, to play it safe. This is a mistake. As historyhas taught us, it is the people who push the boundaries, take (qualified) risksand put their money where their mouth is – even during challenging times – whoend up on top.
This brochure outlines all the reasons you should attend our Congress this year. Butif you just need one reason to attend – know this: even during 2008-09, when theworld was dealing with the economic downturn and the biofuels industry faced it'sown major challenges, we retained record attendee numbers. When times are hard,people reduce the number of conferences they go to; but they never stop attendinggreat events where they know all their networking and learning goals can beachieved. Our history has already proven this.
If you only attend one bioenergy conference in 2012 – make sure it’s WorldBiofuels Markets.
