On behalf of the European Regional Education Committee, we would like to invite you to attend the 35th Annual Conference being held at The Hilton Hotel Porto Gaia in Porto, Portugal. As in previous years, much thought has been put into the conference programme to ensure it addresses the many challenges we face in today's commodity markets and to increase overall awareness in a number of very salient issues. The planned receptions and dinners will provide you with an environment to meet friends and make new contacts from across the industry.
