Biofuels Workshop & Trade Show - Eastern Region is the second regional conference to focus on near-term development of commercial-scale ethanol and biodiesel production and use.  In 2004, Biofuels Workshop & Trade Show - Western & Pacific Region in Sacramento, California, presented important technical and political issues that support biofuels production and use in the Western United States and Canada, and the Pacific Rim.

The main objectives of the 2005 conference program are to exchange information and expertise that targets regional development of a biofuels industry; bring together key people that can facilitate the development of a biofuels industry; offer reliable and viable technology options; and identify action steps to create a path forward. Biofuels Workshop is an important opportunity to share resources, expertise, services, products and technology with this rapidly emerging biofuels industry.

This event will attract over 400 participants and nearly 50 exhibitors representing:

• Current and future ethanol and biodiesel producers
