Kennedy & Coe is hosting the 2nd Annual Ethanol Leader's Summit in Wichita, KS. ICM is a sponsor of this event. Doug Rivers, Director of Research & Development, will be speaking on The Future of Biofuels Production from Cellulosic Feedstock on Thursday, Oct. 7.

They have designed the Ethanol Leader’s Summit around the specific wants identified by the stakeholders of existing operating ethanol plants. The summit is the result of direct requests we have received and was designed with specific input from your peers. You will have the opportunity for peer to peer networking and sharing of information will be a focus.

For more information regarding this year's conference, please call Kennedy & Coe at 1-800-303-3241.

The 11th annual energy conference has a new name and a new venue! We hope you will plan to join us in Wichita, October 12 and 13, at the Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center. ICM is a silver sponsor of the show this year, and will have a booth at the event.

Who should attend?

Representatives of energy-related industries, utilities, cities, counties, state agencies, colleges and universities, community colleges and technical schools, and unified school districts, as well as the interested public.

Hear ICM speak on the MSW to Energy panel taking place on October 14 at 11:15 AM at the Biomass Finance and Investment Summit in Washington, DC.

Now in its 5th edition, the Biomass Finance & Investment Summit has established itself as the business hub where decision–makers—project developers, technology providers, utilities, investors, lenders, EPC contractors and other industry players— come together to get biomass projects developed and financed. In addition, the Summit provides an important opportunity for these groups to exchange market intelligence, share perspectives, build a mutual understanding and to learn what it will take to get biomass deals successfully financed in 2010 and beyond.

From its inception, the Biomass Finance & Investment Summit has received high acclaim, drawing praise from sponsors, speakers and attendees across the board. We anticipate the 5th edition of this popular event will build on that substantial success by providing the optimum environment for conducting business with the industry’s most influential players.

Doug Rivers, Director of Research & Development at ICM will be presenting on Wednesday, October 27 at 2:45 p.m.

Commercial technologies that will help put ethanol producers on the leading edge of efficiency and profitability are the focus of BIOFUELS JOURNAL'S Commercial Ethanol Technology and Research Workshop, Oct. 27-28, in St. Joseph, MO.

Presentations will focus on how to improve an ethanol plant's bottom line with the newest technologies available, such as turning thin stillage into biogas to displace natural gas, advanced dryer technologies, and fractionation technologies.

This year's event features a tour of LifeLine Foods corn fractionation ethanol production plant.

The conference will also include some of the latest advances in research for advanced biofuels and cellulosic ethanol.
