Being unable to meet in person with our members at our usual bi-annual meetings we have moved to a tried and tested virtual platform to deliver an interactive environment for delegates to learn, discuss & network. This is our first foray into online conferencing and it allows us to open free access to all interested delegates from member companies - rather than the in-person limit of 3 passes per organisation.
In addition, we are opening the event to sponsors, media and paying non-member delegates. For further information please contact Ysella Collier or click on the image below to see video on what to expect.
Running from 1pm to 6pm GMT, the 2 full afternoons of this virtual conference comprise more than just a series of webinars. They will include technical presentations, panel discussions, live Q&A, speed networking and other networking opportunities. Topics covered will include:

Over the 2 afternoons, there will be 4 keynote presentations on fundamental issues affecting the industry. These will be given by 4 respected experts in the relevant fields and will be around 20-30 minutes in duration (see agenda for further information).
Following keynote presentations, an opportunity will be given for all delegates to pose questions to the keynote speaker and to start a discussion.
This will comprise a series of 3 short presentations from 3 industry figures, each giving perspectives on a different area of an overarching topic (see agenda for topic details).
Following the above discussion, the floor will be opened for questions and discussion amongst all participants.
There will be a speed networking reception, where delegates are given the chance to hold short meetings with numerous peers. A full list of attendees will be available throughout the even, and you will have the opportunity to start live chats, email or contact others to connect.
Confirmed speakers include, Chris Asgill (CRU), Christian Boehm (Primetals), Hector Forster (S&P Global Platts), Jeremy Jones (CIX LLC) and Derek Langston (SSY). Further information on speakers, including biographies, is available on the speakers page (see right hand menu).
