Interesting, I am actually of the opinion that this years speakers combination is the best yet. A serious program with good diversity.

If you want doomerish views, better read a semi-scientific book :) If you want serious options to mitigate peak oil, go to an ASPO conference!

Rembrandt,

Good positive take on the speakers list, and I don't want to be mistaken, from what I can find out about most of them, it should be an interesting forum.

Sadly, I cannot afford to fly to Ireland (I have always wanted to go just to see the place, being of Irish extraction, but like many Americans of Irish extraction, I am not wealthy....:-(

Hope those who do go will report back for us....and I agree with you, I do think the ASPO scenarios and mitigation ideas are more credible than many of the "Johny come lately's".

RC

I agree, it's a great speaker lineup. However, for anyone wishing for some of the more "traditional" names, and/or for anyone that can't afford to go to Cork, there will be an ASPO USA conference in Houston Oct. 17-20.

Among the speakers are:

T. Boone Pickens, Matt Simmons, Arthur Smith, Henry Groppe, Chris Skrebowski, Stuart Staniford, Euan Mearns, Jeffry Brown, Robert Hirsch, and Peter Tertzakian, plus 30 more speakers.

This conference also promises to be enlightening and well rounded. More info at www.aspo-usa.org
