When HYPOTHESIS was created it was the unique hydrogen related conference held in odd years. Nowadays the situation is significantly changed and it is not easy to avoid conflicts with other conferences. Here is a short list of the main hydrogen related international conferences and fairs regularly held in odd years:

• FC EXPO - Tokyo (Japan) - Jan/Feb

• Group Exhibits Hydrogen and Fuel Cells - Hannover (Germany) - Apr

• HYSYDAYS - Turin (Italy) - Jun

• IHEC - Istanbul (Turkey) - Jul

• FCS - Different places (in USA) - Oct/Nov

• EHEC - Different places (Europe) - Different months

• WHTC - Different places (2011 Scotland, 2013 to be defined) - Different months
