Serving as a bridge between developed and emerging markets
Every year, both the Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference and the Annual Fuels & Lubes Asia Conference cover technical- and market-related topics that are highly relevant to the industry. World-renowned industry experts have traveled to Asia to speak. Speakers and delegates alike have benefited from the collegial and informal atmosphere throughout the conference, which has been accentuated in the recent past by the crescent cluster seating arrangements, interrupted by sumptuous tea breaks and lunches, and ice breakers, such as off-site dinners and welcoming cocktails. This kind of interaction is unique, as most conferences tend to be formal and stilted. But this is Asia-Pacific, which has only recently risen in economic status, where relationships are more important in doing business.
