• CONFERENCE ATTIRE
  We're encouraging all speakers and attendees to adopt a business casual dress, i.e., no jackets or ties.  This covers speakers, session chairmen, panel and tutorial chairs and speakers.  Almost all of the food functions are outside and a business casual dress will make the long conference day and the outdoor functions more comfortable.

SHERATON SAND KEY
Sand Key is one of the 20 Best Beaches, according to many travel and tourism organizations.  Directly on this beautiful beach is the Sheraton Sand Key, a 390-room luxury hotel.  Each of the hotel’s newly refurbished rooms overlooks either the Gulf of Mexico or Clearwater Bay.  Its seven secluded acres of white sandy beach set a tropical holiday mood for registrants to meet and discuss timely topics with colleagues from all over the globe.  Rates for single or double rooms:  $179/night.

Getting to Clearwater & The Sheraton Sand Key: The Sheraton Sand Key (on the Pinellas Sun Coast) in Clearwater, Florida, is approximately 21 miles from Tampa International Airport.  Limousine Shuttle Service ($24/person) is available at the airport that will take you directly to the hotel. In addition, service is increasing at the Clearwater/St. Petersburg Airport; so please check with your carrier to see if you can fly in there because it is closer to the Sheraton than Tampa International.

Climate: June is a beautiful time to be in Florida on the Gulf Coast.  During the day the temperature is perfect for the beach and the evenings are balmy.  In addition, a baseball cap or hat is advisable for times when we are outside.

THE CLEARWATER CLEAN COAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE

The Conference Committee seeks papers from all countries worldwide that deal with: technical solutions to problems; specific strategies; projects; innovations; industry trends; and/or regulatory compliance.  The goal is to present an extensive overview of emerging, evolving, and innovative technologies, fuels and/or equipment in the power generation industry, through the presentation of accomplishments, opportunities and challenges in the major technological areas.  Through their efforts we present this year’s excellent technical program.
