As the region’s premier platform for downstream industries, the IDCE 2025 Conference will feature a robust agenda with more than 290 expert speakers across 130+ sessions.
Discussions will tackle the most critical themes shaping the global downstream sector, from macro, geopolitics and regulations to decarbonisation, digitalisation and innovation, and the downstream value chain.
With S&P Global Commodity Insights serving as the knowledge partner, attendees will gain access to strategic insights and forward-looking perspectives vital for driving innovation in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
A dedicated initiative, Youth Pulse, will provide a platform for students and young professionals. It will offer opportunities to engage with industry leaders, participate in Youth Hub sessions, explore career pathways, and gain hands-on experience with real-world case studies and emerging technologies.
