Help maintain and advance exploration success 
in the Black Sea and Caspian Region

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to join us in Ukraine, for the AAPG Europe Region Annual Conference and Exhibition to be held from 17 to 19 October 2010 at the Ukrainian House, Kiev.

Our Technical Program Committee works very hard to put together an exceptionally strong set of sessions organized in three parallel oral sessions and a poster session. We also put an emphasis to have a healthy mix of professionals from both the industry and the academia.

Given the location of the meeting, we believe that many colleagues will be able to join us from the countries of the former Soviet Union providing an appreciation of the full spectrum of the exploration history, successes/failures and forward thinking in the broader Black Sea and Caspian region.

I encourage all the explorers and geoscientists working on Black Sea and Caspian projects to join us in Kiev as it is shaping up as a very exciting and significant AAPG meeting.

My best regards to you,

Gabor Tari
