SAVE $400 Register By Friday August 23, 2013 Dear Colleague, Would you like to gain key insights on ethylene production plans and derivative demand dynamics to comprehensively evaluate global market opportunities? If so, join us at the debut Ethane To Ethylene & Derivatives: Global Markets Summit 2013, where you will hear from leading petrochemical industry players alongside EPC contractors as they discuss international market opportunities - region by region, derivative by derivative - as well as practical strategies in terms of shipping economics and managing resourcing constraints. With the shale gas revolution creating an abundance of ethane in North America, the petrochemical industry has been quick to act in announcing the expansion of steam cracker capacity to produce lower cost ethylene and shift away from heavier feeds, eager to rapidly capitalize on the global market opportunities presented. But where exactly are these markets and for what derivatives? How will all this investment come online? Providing a detailed breakdown of regional markets globally, derivative by derivative, this unique forum will provide the level of comprehensive insight required to truly evaluate opportunities and manage capacity expansion risks through the vital lens of the petrochemical industry itself. Central questions being addressed include: How fast will expansion projects be completed? What are EPC company strategies to meet skilled labor and raw material demands? What derivatives will be produced, and in what volumes? What is the business case for on purpose production of propylene and butadiene? How will this impact ethylene production abroad? Answering all these questions and more, this groundbreaking forum will deliver the level of granular market detail and commercially focused strategic assessment required to maximize profitability and mitigate risk in this rapidly expanding sector. Please take a look through the enclosed agenda and visit www.ethane-to-ethylene-markets.com for the fastest way to register. We look forward to welcoming you to Houston this October.
