Anaerobic Digestion Stakeholders Meeting

Oshkosh, Wisconsin

June 13-14, 2013

This meeting and tour opportunity will allow product developers and manufacturers to discuss their research and testing priorities regarding anaerobic digestion (AD) of their products.  The setting at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh will showcase their facilities for testing at lab, pilot, and commercial scale AD and composting facilities.

The meeting is scheduled to follow the Biopolymers Symposium in Chicago (3 hours drive from Oshkosh).  The Wisconsin State Energy Office is also hosting a pre-meeting event for their Energy Independence Communities program, which will focus on community-scale organic waste solutions. They welcome your participation.

Detailed agenda, lodging and meeting details will be posted at this site by early April.  A preliminary schedule is provided below.  Please save the date, and we look forward to seeing you in Oshkosh.
