The National Hydrogen Association is planning a number of hydrogen safety, codes and standards activities in conjunction with the 16th Annual U.S. Hydrogen Conference and H2Expo, USA. The conference will be held March 29-April 1 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC. In addition to safety sessions during the conference, there will be an open forum discussing Global Technical Regulations. Also, there are several meetings being scheduled to co-locate with the conference. Once the meetings are scheduled, an agenda-at-a-glance will be posted here in the Hydrogen Safety Report, and on the conference website at www.HydrogenConference.org. Please note, the deadline for abstract submissions is December 31, 2004, and the deadline for early-bird discounted registration is January 31, 2005.
