Biomass Magazine has released the official agenda for the 19th Annual International Biomass Conference & Expo (IBCE), scheduled for March 31 through April 2, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee.

“This year’s agenda reflects where the biomass industry is headed and the challenges producers are working to solve right now,” said John Nelson, Chief Operating Officer of BBI International. “Across four focused tracks, the program delivers actionable insight on technology, policy, and market developments that support operational strength, margin improvement, and long-term growth.”

Conference Program Tracks

• Pellets & Densified Biomass – Sponsored by CPM
• Biomass Power & Thermal – Sponsored by Babcock & Wilcox
• Biogas & Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
• Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

North American Biocarbon Conference

New in 2026, the North American Biocarbon Conference will be co-located with IBCE, expanding the program to spotlight carbon-negative and carbon-smart solutions across the biomass value chain. The conference will bring together biocarbon and biochar producers, carbon-removal buyers, project developers, equipment providers, and technology innovators.

“By integrating biocarbon, SAF, RNG, and traditional biomass markets into one agenda, attendees gain a clearer picture of where technology, policy, and investment are heading,” said Anna Simet, Senior Editor and Director of Content at BBI International.

The conference opens on Tuesday, March 31 at 1:00 p.m. CT. The Expo Hall Grand Opening will take place from 4:30–6:00 p.m. CT and will feature more than 170 exhibitors.
