   Designed for companies and organizations advancing technologies that support 
the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the North American SAF 
Conference & Expo is scheduled for Sept. 22-24 at the Minneapolis Convention 
Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to a news release from BBI 
International.

   "Now in its third year, the North American SAF Conference & Expo has 
extended into two full days of content over a 3-day event that will showcase 
the latest strategies for aviation fuel decarbonization, explore solutions for 
key industry challenges, and highlight the current opportunities for airlines, 
corporations and fuel producers," according to a news release.

   Produced by SAF Magazine and organized by BBI International in collaboration 
with Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI), the conference 
brings together key stakeholders advancing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) 
development.

   "The Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) is honored to 
partner with the BBI International team on planning this year's North American 
SAF Conference. Whether you're a researcher, project developer, biofuel 
producer, airline representative, or just someone wanting to grow your rural 
economy, the event will be a great venue for networking, getting industry 
updates, and gaining knowledge on the domestic and international SAF sector," 
said Tim Hughes, program manager at CAAFI.

   The first day, Monday, Sept. 22, will include two afternoon plenary 
sessions, followed by the Grand Opening Evening Reception in the Expo. 
Concurrent panel presentation and discussion sessions will run throughout Sept. 
23-24.

   "We're excited to unveil the agenda for this year's expanded event," said 
John Nelson, chief operating officer at BBI International in a July press 
release. "With a half day dedicated to discussions around strategy and tactics, 
and the addition of a full second program track, we're delivering more content 
and greater value to the SAF community. This year's conference will offer 
attendees insight, clarity and direct access to the leaders shaping the future 
of sustainable aviation fuel."

   Steve Csonka, executive director of CAAFI, indicated, "We are very pleased 
to continue our collaboration with SAF Magazine and the BBI International team 
in holding this SAF-targeted conference which focuses on the nuts and bolts of 
enabling commercial progress."

   On Aug. 25, SAF Magazine and CAAFI announced the addition of new speakers to
