Overview

The New 2020 AFPM Summit:  Excellence in Plant Performance is Going Virtual

Over the past few months our industry has united with a common purpose: nothing is more important than the health and safety of our workforce.  In these unprecedented times, AFPM has made the decision to shift the 2020 AFPM Summit to a virtual experience.

We are excited to bring this important content to you in a new, cutting-edge format that will make all the key takeaways, industry strategies, and peer interactions more accessible than ever.  This new, digital approach is designed to educate a broader audience and connect more industry professionals while safely adhering to social distancing measures.

The Summit will continue its mission to showcase a combination of the best elements of the Reliability and Maintenance Conference, the Cat Cracker Seminar, and the Operations & Process Technology Summit, creating the only single event for the refining and petrochemical industries focused on improving plant-wide performance.

Features include:

  • Live-streamed industry education sessions that highlight emerging technologies, process safety, improved reliability and operations, mechanical integrity, training, leadership, and culture
  • Content targeted at owner & contractor personnel from maintenance, operations, engineering and more
  • Interactive virtual events to facilitate networking and information sharing for those with similar professional interests, emerging leaders, women in industry, etc. from the comfort of your home or office
  • Virtual exhibit hall providing the latest developments, information, and demonstrations from your industry partners with availability for interaction through live chats

We understand how crucial it is that the fuel & petrochemical community remains connected and informed as we all navigate the upcoming months.  Delivering quality and in-demand products, services, and strategies as well as engaging and connecting industry professionals remain our top priorities when organizing the AFPM Annual Summit. We hope you join us in August for this new, virtual experience.
