Dear EPCA members,

I hope you all had a great summer break.

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

The pace of change is rapid and continues to accelerate. How we address challenges and work together is reflected in the theme of our 57th Annual Meeting: Collaboration for Impact. The current economic downturn, rising inflation, and geopolitical tensions make this transition even more difficult. Despite these ongoing changes and the various challenges we face - technological, social, geopolitical, etc. - we are encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by our members and partners as we prepare for the event. Now more than ever, our audiences, businesses, and communities need you to help create meaningful collaborations!

EPCA's Annual Meeting is the largest business and networking event for the global petrochemical community in Europe. It brings people together to inspire and learn from each other, fostering connections that drive business growth. This event offers valuable insights from the community to help shape your action plan and build new relationships.

During the meeting, we will explore future trends and discuss their impact on our organizations. The program is excellent and provides numerous networking opportunities. Take a look at the agenda HERE to see what's in store. You'll have the chance to delve deeper into ideas and share lessons learned from both failures and successes within a supportive peer-to-peer environment.

After the great success of the 56th Annual Meeting in 2022 we see the continued need of our industry to meet in person, reflecting in 90% of the tickets already been sold. Registration will close automatically once we reach 3000 tickets. To secure your spot at this event, please visit www.epca57. eu/main/register

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 am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to meet and connect with many of you in Vienna.

Best regards,

Johann Lenhart
CEO (EPCA)
