The LOW/NO CODE Opportunity - Enabling Citizen Developers to Achieve Maximum Levels of Organizational Performance and Operational Excellence
Digitalization
This session will present and discuss how the implementation of common business processes, complex scientific and business analytics and related performance dashboards utilizing low code technologies have rapidly maximized levels of organizational performance. Low/No Code platforms now enable experienced knowledge workers in front line organizations to add significant levels of incremental value as ‘Citizen Developers’ and ‘Citizen Data Scientist’. Without incurring the traditional levels of cost and external development overhead. In an environment where compliance with defined work practices and procedures, and performance transparency are so critical, it is amazing that critical workflows continued to be consigned to manual tasks and office tools like email to actuate.
Participants will:
- Gain an understanding of the current and future state of Low/No Code technology,
- Appreciate the achievable benefits to be realized from Low/No Code platforms,
- Learn how to maximize and secure the best results from your human talent, and
- Secure insights on how to begin a Low/No Code business process automation initiative.

Hydrogen Economy & Hubs
Sustainability
The hydrogen economy has become a central point of discussion as the energy industry evolves towards carbon reduction and “net zero” targets. Central to efficient production and utilization of lower carbon footprint hydrogen is the development of hydrogen hubs, which are defined as the network and supply chain of producers, consumers, and infrastructure for decarbonized hydrogen. This session will highlight delineation of the colors of hydrogen, potential end uses of hydrogen and summarize H2 hubs and early learnings.

Turnaround Planning for Improved Reliability
FCC
Reliability of critical FCC equipment often drives turnaround planning and cycle length. Cyclones, slide valves, refractory and major rotating equipment repair planning can make or break a FCC cycle. This session will review critical components of reliable FCC operation and what a turnaround inspection and repair plan should encompass to improve long term FCC reliability.

Pyrolysis Technology
Sustainability
Pyrolysis is the thermal conversion of biomass, municipal waste and/or plastic in the absence of oxygen to produce a liquid product. This pyrolysis oil product will have various properties depending on the feedstock and technology. However, it can be further refined through e.g. hydrotreatment or co-processing in an FCC unit to produce steam cracker feed or other products. This session will focus on plastic pyrolysis technology and the role Refiners will play in enabling a circular economy for plastics.
