23rd Annual Governor's Hurricane Conference

May 11, 2009 - May 15, 2009,
Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward county Convention Florida United States

The theme for this year’s conference…”Maintaining the Vigil While Preparing for the Inevitable” addresses the challenge Floridians face heading into the 2008 Hurricane Season. Whether it’s having to convince our citizens that eventually the “big one” will again come our way, or competing for funding and other resources reprogrammed for more “current” problems; or dealing with the ever increasing number of new citizens inexperienced in hurricanes, the urgency of preparing for what we know will someday return is as high as ever.

Florida has been handed a welcome respite the last couple of years… and with it, the opportunity to prepare, train, educate and to build and develop our readiness posture. This year’s conference will help provide the framework and tools to ensure this window of opportunity is not wasted. Two and a half days of our conference are devoted to a variety of courses that will train those responsible for maintaining the public’s health and safety during hurricane emergencies. Additionally, over 100 workshops will be offered that provide the latest and greatest on ways to prepare, respond, recover and mitigate the consequences of hurricanes. We hope you find this year’s program helpful in addressing the ever changing hurricane preparedness needs of Florida.

May 11, 2009 - May 14, 2009,
Budapest Congress & World Trade Center, Budapest Hungary

4 New Feature Changes Format, Filter, Follow-Up & Facts

1. FORMAT: No More 45 Minute Case Studies. Every stream to be as interactive as blue-sky. ONLY plenary and mid-market streams to contain any full case-study presentations. No theatre set–ups. Instead the streams will include sessions in the following formats:

>> Opinion pieces (live debates/moot roundtables)
>> Interviews

• Boardroom Challenges
• Boardroom Challenges
• Whistle Blowers
• 3D talking heads

2. FILTER: Finding The Right People Easier. Know In Advance Who Has The Same Interests AS YOU! Better screening/surveying of ALL delegates at registration to help peers and vendors with networking

>> Pre-qualification process for all streams (not just blue-sky) to help delegates locate like-minded peers and vendors locate right buyers
>> Creating the buzz and exclusivity of blue-sky room for non-mature delegates

* Easier networking in more hospitable surroundings
* More sessions with pre-filtering mechanisms so delegates are mixing with peers with similar interests and at similar stages of development and YOU know who you are meeting and why

ASCAAD 2009: Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design

May 11, 2009 - May 12, 2009,
Manama, Bahrain

The focus area of the conference can be shaped, as follows: considering all these potentials, challenges, and arguments, which we have to benefit from and cope with, are there truly legitimate concerns about the future of our architecture and its content in particular from human and environmental dimensions? Can we develop our own ways of benefiting from the technology that cater to our environment and culture? Can we still see the form of architecture in the traditional way or should we change our perspectives? In other words the conference concentrates on bridging between the new digital form and the traditional human content.

12th International Workshop on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications (PFMC-12)

May 11, 2009 - May 14, 2009,
Forschungszentrum Jülich (Jülich Research Center) Jülich Germany

This workshop series, formerly named "International Workshop on Carbon Materials for Fusion Applications", was initiated in 1985 by Forschungszentrum Jülich as a forum for information exchange on carbon based materials for plasma facing applications in nuclear fusion devices. To date, 11 workshops were organized; 8 of them took place in Jülich, one in Stockholm (1995 organized by KTH and FZJ), one in Hohenkammer (2000 organized by IPP, Garching and FZJ). Then it was high time for a change and redefinition of the scope of the symposium. To reflect the requirements of the ITER design and the ongoing evolution in the field it was decided in 2006 to change the name of the workshop from "International Workshop on Carbon Materials for Fusion Applications" to "International Workshop on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications". The workshop with the extended scope was held as 11th workshop, PFMC-11 in Greifswald (2006, organized by IPP, Greifswald).

Industrial Energy Efficiency Management Forum

May 11, 2009 - May 12, 2009,
Nairobi Kenya

High cost of oil imports, power outages and cut backs due to insufficient energy generation is becoming a critical factor in industrial productivity level. Stake holders are seeking ways to address these issues from a proactive approach that can help maximise production efficiency through energy management, conservation and seeking alternative energy sources.

This event proffers ways to achieving that optimum level in energy efficiency management to bring about this increase in productivity and goal attainment. It will analyze energy efficiency opportunities in industrial systems, drawing practical examples from excellent case studies by experienced stake holders in the sector while show casing the benefits and over all savings that can accrue through energy conservation and alternative energy prospects.

It is therefore necessary to attend this event as it would showcase relevant cost -effective ways to manage energy efficiently and bench mark ways to achieving industrial excellence through proper management strategies and conservation. Also the event would highlight Kenya’s significance as a hotbed for geo-thermal energy as an alternative future to fossil fuel.
