The IGA, IEA Geothermal and the Exhibition Centre Offenburg will hold a Latin America Symposium at the GeoTHERM - expo & congress on 14th/15th February 2017.
On 14-15 February 2017, the International Geothermal Association (IGA) partners with the International Energy Agency – Geothermal Technology Collaboration Programme (IEA Geothermal TCP) and the Exhibition Centre Offenburg to offer a Latin America Symposium with distinguished Latin American and international experts. The Symposium is to be held one day prior to the GeoTHERM 2017. The GeoTHERM – expo & congress officially opens in the morning of Wednesday, 15th Feb. 2017.
At the Symposium insights into the Latin American geothermal market, resources, research activities, risk mitigation mechanisms and technology transfer opportunities will be provided. The dialogue on Tuesday, 14 Feb. will lead to a late afternoon get-together at the fair where we invite guests to meet Latin American and other German/ international colleagues. Registration for both events is very affordable and managed by the Exhibition Centre Offenburg: http://www.geotherm-germany.com/en/registration.
The event provides space for the first 200 registrants. The IGA also plans to offer a matchmaking event during the GeoTHERM – expo & congress where Latin American representatives can meet with German companies who provide geothermal services and products.
