IOSC 2011: Booth 851

Greetings from Portland!

This is going to be a big week for the Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X CHALLENGE. We are currently preparing for at the International Oil Spill Conference (IOSC), in Portland, OR where we will be showcasing the Finalist Teams and chatting up the conference attendees about the Competition which is moving full speed ahead. The conference brings together people from around the world, enabling them to discuss in various formats the best responses to oil spill cleanup. This year, the X PRIZE Foundation has sent members of our team to the conference to meet and greet everyone that stops by our booth. Everyone is looking forward to a week filled with discussions of innovation, oil spill cleanup technology, and of course, our Competition!

We will be at booth #851 in the Oregon Convention Center Exhibit Hall so if you're in the Portland area be sure to stop by and say hello!

May 23: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
May 24: 10:00am - 500pm
May 25: 10:00am - 5:00pm
May 26: 10:00am - 2:00pm

Next week after the conference, we'll have a special guest-blogger who will give us the full run-down of the events.

I can’t wait for the announcement of our Finalist Teams!  Stay tuned!
