Call For Papers: Global Technology Forum



“What we know about the global financial crisis is that we don't know very much.” -- Paul Anthony Samuelson (May 15, 1915 – December 13, 2009) American economist, first American to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.

GTC-Global Technology Forum has issued a call for papers for three upcoming GTC events:

ERTC 20th Annual Meeting - Deadline: Friday 3rd April
PARTC 3rd Annual Meeting - Deadline: Friday 3rd April
ERTC Petrochemicals Conference - Deadline: Friday 1st May

The ERTC 20th Annual Meeting will be taking place on 17-19 November at the Rome Cavalieri Hotel, Italy. http://events.gtforum.com/ertc-annual-meeting
The PARTC (Pan-African Refining Technology Conference) 3rd annual meeting occurs at Cape Town, 8-9 September 2015

The ERTC Petrochemicals Conference occurs in Rome on the 18th and 19th November

TIP #1: While GTC has a good track record, it can’t hurt to conduct a due diligence Google® search.

Typical results on such a search reveal that Incisive Media acquired Global Technology Forum, “the leading independent organizer of conferences and training for the oil, gas and petrochemical refining and processing industries” in 2007.

ADDENDUM to TIP #1: Spend a few Google moments on any conference you might want to attend. Search the venue organizer, a few of the presenters, and anything else that comes to mind. Worst case: you might decide not to attend.  Better case: you will get more out of the conference when you do attend.
