VENUE INFORMATION:
THE FIRST CHEMICALS MANUFACTURING FOCUSED CONGRESS FOR LEVERAGING AUTOMATION AND ADVANCED PROCESS CONTROL TO IMPROVE PLANT PRODUCTIVITY, SAFETY AND EFFICIENCYThe automated collection and integration of plant data coupled with advanced process
control offers the potential to ramp up chemical and petrochemical production
across North America – with billions of dollars of new business ready to be won.
However, to fully leverage automation, technical challenges around DCS design, wireless
communication, cyber security and migration strategies must be overcome.
The inaugural Chemicals & Petrochemicals Plant Automation & Advanced
Process Control congress 2015 will deliver over 20 case studies, each designed to
tackle a critical technical challenge requested by plant operators. From cyber security
and safety standards to DCS integration and dealing with obsolescence, this is the only
vendor-neutral forum to share plant operator-led case studies that have measurably
improved safety and efficiency to maximize plant productivity.
I was able to validate our company and specifically my production unit’s automation approach through understanding what is being done by others

DECISION MAKING AUDIENCEE&P attendees are primarily decision makers looking to learn from other operators. Every conversation is valuable and there is no searching through endless crowds in search of the next customer
EXCLUSIVE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIESWe work with dozens of operators across the US to identify the agenda topics and vendor categories they need to hear from. We allocate stalls and speaking time only when suppliers can offer solutions the audience is looking for, so you know your next customer is in the room
SHARE YOUR SUCCESSAs an operator-led congress, speakers will be delivering unbiased reviews of equipment currently installed across their well sites – good or bad. If the feedback is good, solution providers need to be in the room to capitalise upon the moment and make the next sell. If the feedback is poor, suppliers must be ready to update the audience on their latest work to improve the reliability of their devices and reassert confidence in their solutions
If you have a successful case study to share, get in touch to apply for information on speaking opportunities and stall allocations:
