Over the two days, discussion groups, seminars and workshops will cover everything from skills and training, presented by theInstitution of Engineering and Technology, to grid and networks, and the future of carbon capture and storage. “There is going to be a lot of lively debate and conference members will be encouraged to participate from the floor,” says Judith Patten, All-Energy conference producer and marketing manager. “It’s a real opportunity for sharing views and learning the latest news about this exciting sector.”All-Energy’09 is being held at the AECC, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen AB23 8BL on Wednesday, May 20 and Thursday, May 21.
