Algaepreneurs from around the world will have the opportunity to learn all aspects of algae production &#8211; from strain selection through growing, harvesting, extraction, along with financial models\/economics to help make algae production a profitable endeavor, on April 27-28, two days prior to the National Algae Association Conference on April 29-30, at the Doubletree Hotel Houston Intercontinental.<\/p>\n<p>Membership in the NAA is not required to attend our events. \u00a0\u00a0All you need is an interest in collaborative sharing of information to help mold this new\u00a0industry. If you believe the US needs to get off foreign\u00a0oil, become energy independent and create new green jobs, please join us in Houston on April 29-30.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhibit and registration information are available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalalgaeassociation.com\/\">www.nationalalgaeassociation.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>National Algae Association<\/p>\n<p>4747 Research Forest Drive, Suite 180<\/p>\n<p>The Woodlands, TX 77381<\/p>\n<p>936-321-1125<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"mailto:info@nationalalgaeassociation.com\" href=\"mailto:info@nationalalgaeassociation.com\" target=\"_blank\">info@nationalalgaeassociation.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Release Early Registration\u00a0for April 29-30 Conference\u00a0Ends This Week!
