Beyond Carbon 2008 is a conference in Adelaide exploring the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to a carbon constrained economy, from multiple perspectives and for multiple audiences.
The program is organised by CEDA and sponsored by Australian Clean Tech, Hughes People Services, LocalGovernment SA, City of Onkaparinga and University of Adelaide.
Today, I will be live blogging the full day conference with the help of my friend P Y Wong. The program will start soon. Thanks to John O’Brien, the Managing Director of Australian Clean Tech and one of the organisers of this event for inviting me to this event.
The program is in 3 parts. Starting with an introduction from Mike Rann, Premier, of South Australia . The morning sessions are around “Climate Competitiveness”, a lunchtime keynote address and the afternoon sessions are around “Climate Leadership”.
8:30 AM -The conference attendees are coming in, everybody is settling down and even some of the media people are here. The Premier, Mike Rann is here now. That would mean the conference will start soon.

The first session will be with 4 speakers for 10minutes each and then followed by a panel discussion. Then some morning tea, some networking drinks, followed by lunch and then the afternoon sessions.
