Prospecting in the Booming Natural Resources Arena Tuesday, May 13 • 2:30 pm – 6:30 pm Turmoil in the Middle East, the possibility of climate change, and advances in technology are a few forces, among many, reshaping how we think about the resources our planet provides. In this millennium alone, newer sources for energy like switch grass and corn are all the buzz; and who would have thought we would ever hear the phrase “wind farm?” Like the Web boom of a few years ago, there are global giants and fledgling resource companies, but which will thrive and which will wither in the intensely competitive global economy? Gold and oil hit all-time highs earlier this year; will they break through those levels again? This group of natural resource specialists will discuss these questions and others. They’ll offer their takes on what’s to come for specific resources and the mega-trends affecting the sector in general. You’ll learn from those who know best.
