Below is the Preliminary Technical Oral Program for the 22nd International Activated Carbon Conference and Short Course program. You can send abstracts for future 2009 Conferenes in May and October Pittsburgh, PA., recommend Leadership Speakers and nominate someone for the Hall-of-Fame Award for future carbon conferences. We are always working to make the carbon conference and educational program beneficial to you.
This year, optional short courses from October 1-6 and October 9-15, 2008 compliment the October 7-8, 2008 carbon conference in Pittsburgh, PA. If unable to attend short courses manuals may be purchased for $195. Most courses can be provided at your time and place.
We assemble a resource called "Products and Services." This is a notebook of marketing materials to which anyone attending or not attending the conference may contribute two pages. If interested, send 100 copies of two pages of marketing material to be included in the notebook. There is no cost if attending the conference, but there is a $150 fee to include your marketing if not attending the conference. This is given out to attendees. The Conference Proceedings and Products and Services notebook may be purchased for $235.
