More Information on the workshop:

Where are the classes held? The classes are held in two locations, in Ames, Iowa and Moscow, Idaho. The Ames workshops are held at the Biomass Energy Conversion Center (BECON) of the Iowa Energy Center. You can get a map to the center by clicking on the "Map to BECON" link below. The Moscow workshops are held at the University Inn-Best Western at 1516 W. Pullman Road in Moscow, Idaho.

How do I get to the class and where do I stay?

For the Ames workshops: The lecture portion of the classes will be held at the Country Inn and Suites in Ames. A shuttle will be provided for the labs that will be held at the BECON facility. The closest major airport is in Des Moines, IA, about 30 miles south of Ames. You can rent a car there, or, if you give us three days notice, we can arrange to have you picked up at the airport and delivered to your hotel. We have reserved a block of rooms at the Country Inn and Suites for the July and October workshops. You can reserve a room by calling (515) 233-3935 (Be sure to mention you are with the Biodiesel group to get the conference rate)

For the Moscow workshops: Those within driving distance will find the University Inn on the west side of Moscow on the Pullman Highway, the main East-West thoroughfare through town. Out-of-state attendees will probably want to fly into Spokane, Washington, which is located about 80 miles north of Moscow. You can rent a car there or, if you give us three days notice, we can arrange to have you picked up at the airport and delivered to your hotel. Closer airports can be found in Lewiston, ID and Pullman, WA but flights are limited to Boise and Seattle. We have reserved a block of rooms at the University Inn-Best Western in Moscow for the March 2007 workshop. You can reserve a room by calling them at (208) 882-0550 (Be sure to mention you are with the Biodiesel group to get the conference rate)

What is included with the class? The class runs for five days starting at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m. Participants receive copies of all the teaching materials and supplemental notes. A continental breakfast and lunch are provided. Refreshments will also be provided for mid-morning and afternoon breaks. Dinners are on your own although we will facilitate groups meeting to network.
