About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe International Biomass Conference & Expo (IBCE) is a leading B2B event serving the world's interconnected biomass utilization industries — biobased power, thermal energy, fuels and chemicals. Its 20th annual edition takes place March 2-4, 2027, at the Cobb Convention Center in Atlanta, Georgia, organized by BBI International and produced by Biomass Magazine.
The conference draws a broad cross-section of the industry. It brings together current and future producers of bioenergy and biobased products with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors and policy makers. It is positioned as a one-stop networking and education junction where researchers, developers, venture capitalists, Fortune 500 executives, farmers and foresters connect.
Attendees come to identify and evaluate technical and economic solutions that fit their operations and to tap into the revenue-generating potential of sustainable biomass resources. With a world-class expo floor, an acclaimed program of panels and technical presentations, and extensive networking, IBCE is billed as the largest, fastest-growing event of its kind for biomass professionals.
