Andreas Krobjilowski

It is well-organised. It is a very good representation of various brands of the industry, a very interesting group of people, and I had a number of very exciting and interesting conversations.

Ferry Winter

I think this is a great conference at senior level and also at technical expertise, with people who are really understanding refining and petrochemical industry. I think it's very useful.

Gerrit Polhaar

Business Development Director Renewable Fuels & Circular Technologies

Chevron Lummus Global LLC

What I also like is the personal manager that is assigned to you. If you want to meet certain people, you can tell that to your manager, and he or she will try to make it happen for you. So you don't really have to go and look for the people you want to talk to because you get help identifying those people.

Kevin Worster

Head of Digital Enterprise Solutions & Business Development

Yokogawa

I think the organisation of the meetings has been first-class. Quality of the people here at PRC 24 is great, and the meetings are very insightful with the right level of people in terms of C-level people to engage with.
