ASPO Conference in Barcelona

The next ASPO conference will take place in Barcelona in Spain during 20-21 October 2008.

The traditional topics, such as oil and gas (and coal), will be discussed by various speakers. Apart from that also energy security and other proposed subjects, such as renewables in general and biofuels in particular together with local and regional solutions, will be presented.

A more detailed schedule and list of speakers will appear later. For more information check out the official conference homepage at http://aspo-spain.org/aspo7 (coming soon). This page will also include registration procedures and subscription fees and conditions.
