PowerGen Europe 2008

Dear Energy Professional, Dear Colleagues,

On 3-4-5 June 2008, the main European energy event was in Milan Italy for Powergen Europe 2008 exhibition and conference. The Powergen conferences are very important in energy sector. If you participate to Powergen Europe Conference, you have to purchase an international ticket to fly to an European city- Milan, Italy this year, make hotel reservation (most of the time fair price which is double the normal price, in Milan it is quite expensive) and handle your living and traveling expenses. You have to spend almost one week. That means you are away from your daily work load and your ongoing projects, customers. That is a real dedication. That needs time, money, effort. But on the other hand, you meet with the key players of the international market. Only real players, only serious organizations, and individuals can do/ participate to the fair. So let us see who these real serious players of our energy sector are.

It is your writer's sincere feeling that one day Powergen Europe should be organized in Istanbul close to Ataturk International Airport, similarly PowerGen Asia should also be organized in Asia Minor section of Istanbul close to Sabiha Gokcen International Airport maybe in F1 racing course.

Thank you and best regards
