From Projects to Performance:
Better Decisions. Reliable Assets. Stronger Performance.
June 16–17, 2027 | Reliant Center, Houston
Develop & Operate Large-Scale Petchem & Refining Projects
The Petrochemicals & Refining Conference brings together owner/operators, project leaders, EPCs and operations specialists to explore how better investment, project and operating decisions can strengthen downstream competitiveness.
Shifting markets and competing priorities are sharpening the focus on existing assets and selective capital investment. The challenge is to control costs without compromising reliability, improve execution and ensure today’s decisions support long-term performance.
Across two days, the agenda connects industry strategy with the realities of project delivery, turnarounds, operations and maintenance.
