Hydrogen Safety, Codes and Standards Activities Currently Planned in Conjunction with the 2010 NHA Conference and Hydrogen Expo



Karen Hall, National Hydrogen Association

Plans are well underway for the NHA's 2010 Hydrogen Conference and Expo, which will be held May 3-6 in Long Beach, California.

In response to feedback from previous conferences, there will be fewer breakout sessions than in previous years. We are planning two technical sessions dedicated to safety, codes and standards. The first is a parallel session on the morning of Tuesday, May 4th, which also happens to be Public Day for this year's show. The second is a 3-hour workshop-style session scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, May 5th.

There are opportunities for related events to be scheduled. These will be announced as they are finalized.
