PRC Europe Turns 10: A Decade of Leading Downstream Transformation

news On 18-19 May 2026 PRC Europe celebrates a milestone: 10 consecutive years of advancing Downstream. What started in 2017 as a 200-person forum, for a decade has brought together more than 3,400 delegates from 1,662 companies and was supported by such industry giants as Eni, Aramco, OMV, Neste, MOL Group and others.



Every year, C-level executives, technical heads and top Downstream specialists from the oil and chemical companies, refineries, petrochemical plants and EPCs together with licensors, service providers and equipment manufacturers have arrived with fresh data and left with new partners or revised strategies in hand. From the first cautious talks on low-carbon fuels to today’s live demonstrations of AI-driven maintenance, the Congress has mirrored the industry’s own pivot toward circular feedstocks, hydrogen networks and deeper decarbonisation.

Impactful networking is one of our main values, so we make sure every conversation is strategic, every session is packed with high-level insights and every congress area is buzzing with new business opportunities. Since 2017, we’ve fueled 2,730+ B2B meetings, sparking collaborations that have pushed downstream transformation forward.



The 2026 edition in Amsterdam will carry on that momentum. Lummus Technology, Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana and Wood are among the companies supporting the celebration. We’ve put together the traditional extensive Business Programme with high-level experts, an Exhibition Zone showcasing the latest technologies and also something special: festive Gala Dinner, fun contests, gifts and other pleasant surprises!



Join us for celebration on 18-19 May 2026 in Amsterdam filling two spring days with forward-looking debate, live technology walk-throughs and the kind of conversations that often turn into working projects. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re a first-time attendee, this is your chance to add a line to the next chapter of Downstream. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
