In 2008, oil prices have posted record highs. A multitude or a combination of factors have been attributed for these price hikes including the slide of the US dollar, the unparallel global demand fuelled primarily by China’s booming economy and OPEC’s stance not to raise production levels. Can the world cope and adapt quickly enough to these changes? What are the appropriate solutions that the oil and related industry need to have in place to minimise the impact of high oil prices on the global economy?
APPEC 2008 will again be the ideal platform, as Asia's leading energy forum, where these important issues will be highlighted and discussed. The central theme for APPEC 2008 is appropriately titled . That the annual series of conferences has been able to attract more than 3,000 leading practitioners and key professionals to meet, participate and explore potential business collaboration speaks volume of the continued relevance of APPEC to the global oil trading community.
Since the inaugural event in 1985, the APPEC series has grown to become one of the most important annual forum for the pan-Asian oil and gas industry. The region's oil and gas industry has, over the years, been very supportive of the APPEC series and most have adopted APPEC as their own - an annual event not to be missed.
APPEC's continued ability to attract the captains of industry and international practitioners to share their expertise at the executive and plenary sessions, complemented by the various networking activities and an exhibition have proven to be a very successful combination. Come and witness this phenomenon of APPEC yourself and reap the immense benefits of being a participant of APPEC.
