The overarching theme of the 2015 conference is “Thriving in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) Environment: Lessons from Market Leaders.” Expert speakers will discuss insightful and thought- provoking topics that relate to the latest end-user market dynamics and fuels and lubricants trends and specifications, as well as the latest industry standards and government regulations. The full-packed 2015 line-up will provide facts, deep insights, forecasts, plans and perspectives from major original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s), government regulators and core industry players such as major oil companies and lubricant and additive manufacturers.

Of specific note, the F+L Week 2015 program includes renowned industry figures, including Local Motors CEO Jay Rogers, who will deliver a riveting keynote address on 3D Printing in the Automotive Industry, and General Motors’ Angela Willis, who will provide an OEM perspective on fuel economy and the role of engine oils. Other featured presenters will include OEM speakers from Toyota, Chrysler, Bosch, Hino and many others.

Furthermore, global industry giants will provide deep market and engineering insights, including Fuchs Petrolub’s Apu Gosalia, who will discuss the sustainability of the Asian lubricants industry and ExxonMobil’s Ken Lim who will discuss the latest developments on marine fuels.

Major Asian state regulators will also present their individual national plans on fuel quality and vehicle emissions, alongside harmonisation in fuel quality standards in Asia.
On 11-12 March, there will be a two-day exhibition to showcase the best available laboratory instruments, base oils and fuels and lubricants additive technology and services, alongside commercial presentations by industry suppliers who’ll present their latest products.
