The conference, to be held on Wednesday 21 April 2010, at Te Papa in Wellington, once again features a high quality line up of international keynote and New Zealand speakers.

With a theme this year of 'Growing the market', the conference is a must for industry participants, investors and commentators seeking greater insights into the state of the renewable transport sector both in New Zealand and internationally.
