Dear EPCA members,

The past quarter has been nothing short of exhilarating, with a whirlwind of activities and exciting developments taking place within our organization.

New office address

I am pleased to announce that as of April 1, 2023, our office has relocated to a new address. Please update your records with our new contact information:

Rue Belliard 40 (box 4), 1040 Brussels, Belgium.
We kindly request that all future communications be directed to this address.

New EPCA President

As of June 1st, Richard Roudeix of LyondellBasell was elected as EPCA’s new President, following Hartwig Michels, who headed EPCA during the past 3 years.
I look forward to a strong cooperation in the future.

57th Annual Meeting | 25-28 September 2023 | Vienna, Austria

I am thrilled to share that we witnessed an unprecedented level of sign-ups, with over 1500 individuals registering since registrations opened in mid-May. Registration closes automatically once 3000 tickets have been sold. To ensure your spot at this unparalleled gathering, I encourage you to register as soon as possible. Please visit our website at www.epca57.eu for more details and secure your place at the premier petrochemical event of the year.
This year introduced a new registration system as first step of adapting our digital infrastructure to new requirements in an ever evolving environment.
I hope you noticed the easier process for registration and booking of meeting spaces and bedrooms.

The success of this event is not possible without the generous support of our GOLD sponsors BCG and S&P Global, for which we are immensely grateful as well as to all our other supporters and partners.

I very much look forward to meet and connect with many of you in Vienna. Let us come together to shape the future of the petrochemical industry and foster lasting relationships within our global network of professionals.

EPCA Ordinary General Meeting

During the meeting, it was decided that membership dues for the upcoming year will remain unchanged. The Full Members' dues will remain at €3,000 per year, while the Associate Members' dues will be set at €1,500. We extend our sincere appreciation to all members for their continued support and dedication to our vibrant community.

There will be an Extraordinary General Meeting on June 22nd where changes to the Articles of Association, the foundation of our Association, will be presented for approval by participating Full Member companies.

Thank you for your invaluable contributions, and please enjoy reading this newsletter. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, do not hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best.

Warm regards,

Johann Lenhart
CEO (EPCA)
