Hong Kong

The °Climate Group is hosting “The Climate Conference 2008 – Making Business-Sense of the Low Carbon Economy” in Hong Kong on 27 October at JW Marriott.

Fundamentally it is transitioning from a cost‐based efficiency approach into realising new growth opportunities in alternative investment, technology and production.

Keynoted by Professor Lord Stern, Author of The Stern Review, The Climate Conference 2008 is set to be a leadership platform for senior business executives, opportunities it presents. Regional and international experts will present their insights on a range of relevant themes.  For more information, please visit:

FILTECH 2009
Wiesbaden, Germany

The premier event for filtration and separation technology featuring a scientific conference and major exhibition will be held again in WIESBADEN, GERMANY. Frankfurt International Airport is only 20 minutes from Wiesbaden and guarantees excellent travel conditions for attendees from abroad.

FILTECH is a cross-sectional event which reflects the full range of possibilities for solutions of separation problems both in theory and in practice, and the formula of providing to an international audience a platform for the exchange of knowledge, ideas and experience in filtration and separation technology has proved very successful over the years.

The EXHIBITION is the leading special interest event for the filtration and separation industry and manufacturers of particle measurement instruments. More than 150 Exhibitors are expected to feature the latest innovations and the most modern technologies.

Directed to an international audience the CONFERENCE will feature fundamentals, equipment and strategies to “Solid-Liquid-Separation“ by filtration and sedimentation as well as “Air and Gas Cleaning“ by filtration, settling, electrostatic precipitation, scrubbing and "Membrane Separation Technology".
