“With oil prices at all-time lows and the COVID-19 pandemic causing demand to flatline, downstream players need to come together to chart a route through an uncertain future,” said Kerr Jeferies, global project director for Petrochemical Update, the Reuters Events unit staging the event. 

“It is more important than ever for there to be fluid dialogue between all those affected by our new market reality,” he added. “Running PSCL 2020 as a virtual event will ensure our experts can reach as wide an audience as possible, contributing to the search for solutions.”

“The event has a reputation as not only the biggest but also the most innovative conference in the sector,” said Jeferies. “With the unprecedented challenges we face in 2020, it made sense for us to reinvent this vital event in a way that delivers more value than ever before.”
