ABO is pleased to announce the location and dates of the 2025 Summit!

ABO Summit 2025 will be held at Arizona State University Student Union in Tempe, Arizona on October 19-21, 2025! Our Summit Planning committee will commence working on an agenda in early March so stay tuned for updates on Abstract submission deadlines and early bird registration.

New this year: We will not have a dedicated Summit hotel (with block of rooms) so we will be announcing area hotels so you can reserve hotel rooms early. Fortunately, there are lots of hotel options in the Phoenix/Tempe market to accommodate all price ranges and requirements. We are looking at having one track (with no breakout sessions) this year.

Thank you for your patience with our announcement. This year’s Summit should be exceptional!

Other key updates: ABO’s government relations committee, the Executive Policy Committee, has been officially re-launched. We held our first official call on December 18th and will be scheduling monthly calls going forward. Tiffany Cannis from Global Algae Innovations has graciously agreed to serve as the Chair of this committee. We have had conversations with Rep. Peters office about outreach to key congresspeople to serve on the re-launched, Algae Caucus and will be working to plan a D.C. fly in for later in the year. If you are interested in participating in this committee, please email me directly at jkallen@algaebiomass.org.

We have locked in presenters for ABO’s monthly Webinar Series. Starting this month, we will hear from member companies/organizations showcasing their projects, company updates and or technologies. See below for details on upcoming webinars.

Membership invoices for 2025 were sent out in December. ABO is a member supported organization, and we need all members to promptly return their membership dues – thank you! If you have any questions or concerns, email me directly at jkallen@algaebiomass.org.

The Algae Biomass Organization is pleased to welcome our newest Bronze Member, Ful Foods
