Held biannually, RAFT provides a forum for industrial and academic scientists to discuss the latest developments in fermentation technology. This year’s meeting will follow a theme of “From Concept to Commercialization.”

Informative Sessions & Networking Opportunities

Sessions will take us sequentially from early stage research through to production, and in each session we plan to have a range of speakers from different industry/academic sectors. Online program available.

In addition to the seven sessions, there will also be one poster session and tabletop exhibits. These activities will be enhanced by networking receptions and morning and afternoon breaks. Group breakfasts and lunches will afford additional opportunities to meet your peers.

Keynote talk will be given by Dr. David Glassner, Executive Vice President of Technology at Gevo. Read his abstract, From Concept to Commercialization – Experiences from Lactic Acid and Isobutanol.
