BEST PRACTICE INDUSTRY KEYNOTES

Objectives

Outstanding individuals and leaders in their industry can be nominated by the National Councils of the World Petroleum Council and the Congress Programme Committee to deliver Best Practice Industry Keynotes at the World Petroleum Congress.

Best Practice Industry Keynotes will present in-depth reviews and analysis of best practice approaches to the selected topic, from a scientific, managerial, sustainable and practical angle, bringing out the implications of the progress described. Coverage should be worldwide, if not focusing on a specific region, and should include a survey of current problems and developments in progress, and draw conclusions of best practices with a forecast of the direction which future developments in the field should or are likely to take.

Best Practice Industry Keynotes should help to clarify the thinking and stimulate new ideas in the minds of specialists in the subject. They should also be of interest and value to attendees in similar areas who have no more than a general knowledge of the area under review, and to senior management.

The Best Practice Keynote Speakers will be selected early in the Congress cycle and will agree to the subject coverage with the Congress Programme Committee and the Chair of the session. International contacts can then be established, and material accumulated throughout the preparation period.
