Oil prices at $100 barrel place considerable burden on the petrochemical industry and the pace of economic activity in important markets such as the US and China may slow next year. Legislative and environmental pressures continue.
Against this background, leaders of several multinational and billion dollar companies will gather during the Second Annual GPCA Forum on 11-13 December in Dubai to discuss the global economic outlook at a period of uncertainty. The GPCA is bringing to the event a number of star speakers.
The list includes Mukesh Ambani, Chairman & Managing Director, Reliance Industries; Ray Wilcox, President & CEO, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company; Peter Huntsman, CEO, Huntsman Corporation; Stephanie A. Burns, Chairman, President & CEO, Dow Corning Corporation; Andrew Liveris, CEO, The Dow Chemical Company; Abdulrahman A. Al-Zamil, Director, Al-Zamil Group; Steve Cornell, Senior Vice President, Middle East & Asia, Total Petrochemicals; Volker Trautz, President & CEO, Basell Polyolefins; Mohamed H. Al-Mady, Vice Chairman & CEO, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and Hamad Al-Terkait, President & CEO, Equate Petrochemical Company (EQUATE) Kuwait.
