The Emerging Markets Summit 2010
15 - 16 September 2010, London
The New Reality is… “By 2030, 93% of the world’s middle class will be from emerging markets".  Just as the West once underestimated the potential of emerging markets, it now fails to grasp the complexities of a fluid, multi-directional global business landscape. The Emerging Markets Summit 2010 will provide an unrivalled opportunity for business leaders to gain authoritative analysis into the current climate for operating in high-growth markets, looking at nascent trade opportunities, evolving consumer behaviour and the competitive strategies of emerging multinationals. Attend this Summit and be part of an unparalleled gathering of business leaders, government representatives and academia, which reaches new heights each year—the summit will build on the success of last year's event which attracted an audience of 300 senior executives from 40 countries across the globe.

17th Asia Petrochemical Summit
20 – 21 September 2010, Singapore
Uncertainty reigns in the market as crude prices hovers at US$80-US$85 per barrel levels but will it climb to new highs or will it move downwards? Whichever way it goes, this will affect petchem feedstock costs. Petrochemical producers will need to take this in their stride and manage the different feedstock options available while optimizing cracker profitability. China and India continue to be the economic titans in Asia, driving petrochemical demand as growth surpass expectations in these 2 countries. Can this demand be sustained to absorb excess capacities expected to come on stream? 17th Asia Petrochemical Summit will address these concerns; provide an independent, all-round update on the petchem value-chain and opportunities in an uncertain market.
