Conferences and Seminars
APPEX London (3rd-5th March 2009)
‘The Truly Global A&D Conference’
Mike Lakin
Volunteer Chairman APPEX 09
If your company is either actively or planning to acquire or divest international upstream assets and is not already sending anyone to attend APPEX in London in 5 weeks time, perhaps it should.
Introduction
APPEX will be held again at the North London (Islington) Design Centre, situated only a couple of underground stops from the heart of London. APPEX is designed for industry E&P new ventures and business development decision-makers from around the world to meet, network and hopefully lead to successful deals. Feed back by historical participants confirms its value and the growth of attendance expected in 2009 should make the conference a ‘must attend’ annual event for international deal makers, both big and small.
The Programme
The newly formatted 2 ½ day speaker programme is also now nearing completion with some invites still to be accepted. The link should open a copy of the provisional programme should you be interested.
The Exhibition & Sponsorship Opportunities
The expanded exhibition area is set out to accommodate 75+ booths/stands with over 40 companies currently registered and new interest being received daily. Prospect exhibitors also have the right to bid for a 10 minute speaker slot in one of the three Prospect Forum sessions which are specifically designed for companies to present their projects for farmout/divestment.
There are still sponsorship opportunities available too, which I have to admit has been hit this year due largely to budget constraints. The same cannot be said for delegate registration which is currently 50% up on the same time last year. Registration for exhibition booth space and/or sponsorship is outlined in the following brochure.
The prices for registration will increase again after the 19th February so save money and register soon if you are planning to attend.
Additional Information
The new dedicated APPEX Web site includes additional information on registration for both delegates and exhibitors, the programme and hotel accommodation.
Feel free to contact me by email or phone should you have any queries.
We very much hope to see you in March.
