It is done to attract the active downstream specialists from oil majors, EPCs, refineries/petrochemical plants, licensors, chemical companies and leading service providers with equipment manufacturers, whose case studies cover the ongoing, existing and planned petrochemical and refining projects.

Testimonials

Eugene McKenna

Senior VP Hydrogen & Sustainable Technologies

Johnson Matthey

I like this conference because it really brings the petrochemical community together and there are people who are going to implement many of the solutions that are being talked about elsewhere.

Gerrit Polhaar

Business Development Director Renewable Fuels & Circular Technologies

Chevron Lummus Global LLC

What I also like is the personal manager that is assigned to you. If you want to meet certain people, you can tell that to your manager, and he or she will try to make it happen for you. So you don't really have to go and look for the people you want to talk to because you get help identifying those people.

Markus Hartung

Vice President, Head of Region EMEA & Global Commercial Processes

Evonik Operations GmbH

Networking opportunities are fantastic at the conference, the breaks are longer than usual which is fantastic because over drinks and food you can connect with people, you can talk.

Raffaella Lucarno

Head of Biorefining & Supply

Enilive SpA

This is the occasion to meet a lot of other companies like us, but also vendors, or specialists, or licensors and so on. We can speak more broadly about everything and discover if there are new things coming up, so it's very interesting.

Michele Cuonzo

Head of Project development and Planning

Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana S.r.l.

We've been attending PRC since 2019, so it became a real yearly milestone for us. It's really important for our company to participate in this event because it's an opportunity to really interface with industry experts to identify common areas of challenges and possible technological solutions in which we are interested.

Barinder Ghai

Technical Marketing and Business Development Director EMEA

Alleima

I believe these meetings are really from our wishlist and I will praise our personal manager. She did a great job getting people on board and she tried to connect us to the people with whom we wanted to speak, and I think this is something that we expect from any conference.

Wander Ricardo Ferreira Lopes

Head of Business Management Ammonia Based Chemicals

BASF SE

I've been to many conferences before, but I think the all preparation that you do on the apps and preparing for a good networking, all the work that you do behind the scenes. And the work with my personal manager was exactly the case. I think she did a very good job and really prepared me to make the most out of it.

Milica Folić

Product Line Director | Clean Fuels & Chemicals

Topsoe A/S

I think it was a mix of people, maybe companies we've known before but not necessarily the people, and certain new companies that we managed to schedule meetings during the congress. I think many people were here specifically from this region, that was an added bonus because I think from within the region you really got an excellent presence.

Andrew Thomson

Director Business Development

Fluor

I think some of the most honest presentations that were given today. There's a lot of willingness to do energy transition project, but sometimes people don't actually talk about why it's difficult and put the real problems on the table. And I think this is the best thing about this conference, it facilitates the conversation.
