This is the best single conference that I attend; it covers a tremendous depth and breadth of both academic and industrial topics critical to sustainable biofuels.

Bruce Dale, Michigan State University, USA

The BBEST international meeting provided a unique forum with world-renowned experts and key industrial players in the bioenergy area to discuss science, technology, and market trends.

Valdeir Arantes, Lorena School of Engineering, USP, Brazil

The perfect place to meet researchers and the industry in the field of bioenergy and bio-refineries.

Prof Francois Marechal, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne , Switzerland

I have always found these to be very well organized and effective meetings, which have included the latest innovations from a broad perspective. I have come away from the meeting recharged with enthusiasm and new ideas to apply in our own work.

Stephen P. Long, Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois, USA

Previous BBEST conferences have been great opportunities to interact with colleagues from Brazil and around the world, as well as to get first-hand exposure to academic and industrial research facilities around the Sao Paulo area.

Nathan J. Hillson - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, U.S.A.

The BBEST conference was a great way to interact with international colleagues all working on all aspects of advancing biofuels as a viable solution to our future energy needs.

Daniel Bush, Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs at Colorado State University, USA

BBEST represents an important link in the common efforts of the Americas for promoting the new bioeconomy through biofuels research as we address the urgent issues of climate change.

Nicholas C. Carpita, Purdue University

The BBEST meetings have been wonderful opportunities to meet colleagues from around the world and to get informed about the latest technologies in our field. I also very much enjoyed the post-conference tours of a sugarcane mill.
