Inogen® hosts another First Class Inogen WorldView® Conference
Bad Nauheim, Germany
April 2011
In April, over 100 delegates travelled from across the globe to attend the 19th Inogen WorldView® Conference in Bad Nauheim, Germany.
The conference, ‘Resources make the world go around - Is your business sustainable if your primary resources become limited or unattainable?’ addressed how businesses prepare for, prevent, react to or avoid the adverse effects of resource scarcity on productivity, profitability, feasibility of projects and corporate image.
More specifically the conference addressed four key areas of resource scarcity; water, energy, mineral and land resources.
The key note address was delivered by Dr. Birgit Spießhofer of Counsel Salans LLP, Berlin. Dr. Spießhofer spoke about environmental justice and corporate responsibility, discussing the significant and growing ecological, political and humanitarian challenges brought about by the imbalance between human population density and the geographical distribution of depleting natural resources.
Other speakers from the conference included experts on water resources, Tim Copeman, Group Quality Assurance Manager, Coca Cola Hellenic and Ruth Mathews, Executive Director, Water Footprint Network.
Experts on waste resources, Dipl.-Ing. Angela Hauk-Suska, Head of Environmental Department, Wienerberger GmbH and Prof. Dr. Stefan Gäth, Professorship for Waste and Resource Management, Justus-Liebig University, Giessen. Experts on mineral resources Arno Pöhlmann, CEO of Überlandwerk Krumbach GmbH; LEW Lech-Elektrizitätswerke AG and Dr. Klaus Schneider, Chief Technology Officer, SCHLUCHSEEWERK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, Laufenburg.
Experts on land resources Richard T. Shone, Vice President Safety, Health & Environment Remediation Projects Consultant Innospec Inc; and Ralph Holeschovsky, Civil Engineering, OFB Projektentwicklung GmbH.
Peter Penning, President and CEO of Inogen was delighted to see so many clients of Inogen and Associates attend the conference; “This is such a hot topic and we were delighted to hear from first rate speakers presenting their thoughts and experiences on these challenges that increasingly face organisations of all types from around the world. This conference has created an opportunity for everyone to learn from peers and apply the latest thinking on resource conservation into their own organisation.”
The conference concluded with a drinks and canapés reception at the Dolce Bad Nauheim Hotel in Bad Nauheim.
