Industry forecasts, sustainability, cutting-edge technology
What does the refinery of the future look like? There is an entire track focused on technical solutions to address growth in sustainability projects and profitability. In addition to regularly scheduled programming, there will be a featured variety of vendor-led sessions on these topics.
Learn about new developments for the workforce of the future, including connected worker, AI drones, robotics, ML/AI applications, digitalization and much more.
An improved tradeshow experience
Stepping away from the traditional tradeshow experience, AFPM created "The Hub" in 2022 — a place where a limited number of exhibitors invited operating company attendees into their lounge spaces for engaging conversations to network and collaborate. AFPM also offered exhibitors alternative opportunities where they were able to host educational sessions in individual meeting rooms or host evening hospitality events. The format was well-received in 2022, and AFPM is building on that success this year.
