he event is packed with highly valuable presentations delivered by experts in the field from all backgrounds: operations, science & research, engineering, consultancy, regulation, suppliers, etc.

The event is targeted well so it is big enough to have everyone in the room, but small enough to allow for people to network effortlesly.

This even is the highlight of the year to meet with good old friends and catch up.”
