  <title><![CDATA[GT TAPPI, RBI participate in Biomass Conference, Expo]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The 11th annual <strong>International Biomass Conference &amp; Expo</strong> took place in April at Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta and drew industry professionals from all sectors of the world&rsquo;s interconnected biomass utilization industries&mdash;biobased power, thermal energy, fuels and chemicals.</p>

<p>The GT TAPPI student chapter and RBI were both represented at the International Biomass Conference &amp; Expo.</p>

<p>Organized by BBI International and produced by <a href="http://www.biomassmagazine.com"><em>Biomass Magazine</em></a>, this event brings current and future producers of bioenergy and biobased products together with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors and policy makers. It&rsquo;s a true one-stop shop &ndash; the world&rsquo;s premier educational and networking junction for all biomass industries.</p>

<p>The Conference is the largest, fastest-growing event of its kind. In 2018, it is expected to draw nearly 1,200 attendees. In 2017, the event drew more than 1,000 attendees doubling the attendance of the inaugural show. This growth is fueled by a world-class Expo and an acclaimed program.</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
