Welcome to the 14th Asian Battery Conference

It gives me great pleasure to extend to you all a very warm invitation to participate in the 14th Asian Battery Conference to be held at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre, Hyderabad, India 13 - 16 September 2011.

I cannot over over-emphasise how excited we are to be hosting the 14 Asian Battery Conference and exhibition in Hyderabad, India. The Asian Battery Conference has enjoyed hosting many Indian delegates to previous conferences and it is with great anticipation we stage Asia's largest battery conference in India, a culturally rich and economically burgeoning country with great culture and heritage.

With the focus of battery production centered in Asia, the conference is a must for those seeking to expand their knowledge, contacts and stay up to date with new and emerging technologies.

The conference will maintain the quality of the previous 13 conferences while incorporating new features to enhance your conference experience. We particularly look forward to providing a stage where everyone can come together to share knowledge, understand shifting consumer and environmental needs and connect battery industry practitioners.

The technical tracks will focus on specific needs of practitioners and end users, as well as those with a technical interest or business connection to the wider battery industry. The program will offer many opportunities to be updated on technical knowledge and unfolding trends while the exhibits and social program will be designed to facilitate your interaction with other practitioners as well as presenters and event sponsors.

The exhibition at 14ABC will provide a large-scale business to business sales opportunity for the world's global battery businesses to meet and do business. Particular attention will be paid to ensure the exhibition is integrated with the overall technical program creating exceptional value for those businesses looking to create a global presence for their businesses.

With India our host country for this Conference we are enthusiastically planning a culturally rich and diverse social program and will have available to all delegates an extensive range of activities to take in the many fascinating sites of India.

I encourage you to submit your interest in participating in this conference early by contacting the conference management office.

I look forward to welcome you all to 14ABC Hyderabad, India 2011!
