A key component of all events we organise is the opportunity for all attendees to widen their contacts and to strengthen relationships in specific sectors.
We aim to encourage people to meet and discuss opportunities either over the breaks throughout the day or at the social networking events in the evenings.
Workshops
As a first, this year we will be launching two interactive workshops to complement the presentations made by the leaders and experts in the oil and gas industry. These workshops will be held on Wednesday 21st April 2010 at the Hilton Hotel, Sydney.
The workshops are a great way to gain a better understanding on the issues that are currently affecting the oil and gas industries. Led by industry specialists, the workshops are an integral part of professional development and are a great way to mix with a range of people involved in the industry.
Who should attend? An interactive and intimate workshop cutting through the jargon, this is designed for;
Investors – both private and institutional
Professionals on the periphery of the industry
(bankers, brokers, solicitors, accountants, PR representatives, contractors)
people new to the industry
