Welcome

On behalf of my colleagues in Zinifex, it gives me great pleasure to extend to you all a very cordial invitation to participate in the 12th Asian Battery Conference (12ABC) to be held at the Le Meridien She Shan Hotel, Shanghai, China 4th - 7th September 2007.

Shanghai, China will provide an extraordinary environment for the 2007 conference with the production and sales of China's battery industry in high speed growth, an improvement in the world-wide economy, and the increase in import and export of Chinese battery products.

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 2007 conference looks forward to delivering many quality technical papers in a stimulating environment where we can promote a better understanding of the Asian battery industry, encourage mutual co-operation within the region, and provide a forum for the introduction of latest technology and equipment to Asian battery manufacturers.

The exhibition at 12ABC will be an integral feature of the conference and will be held over larger floor space than previous conferences. This will allow many more exhibitors to benefit from the many business opportunities this conference generates.

With the conference organising committee enthusiastically planning an exceptional technical program delegates can also be assured of a social program to remember, which will include site seeing opportunities as well as highlight social event programs set to impress!

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 the 12ABC Shanghai, China in September 2007.
