Conference Alert and Call for Papers: Refining China

“I always avoid prophesying beforehand, because it is a much better policy to prophesy after the event has already taken place.” -- Winston Churchill (British Orator, Author and Prime Minister during World War II. 1874-1965)

The 8th Refining China Conference will be staged at the Regent Hotel, Beijing, 2-3 April 2014.

According to a press release …
///////
A date for your diary:  following yet another successful event this April ('much the most useful refining conference in China' was a typical accolade) we return to the Regent Hotel next year on 2-3 April 2014.
If you're interested in submitting a proposal for a presentation to this, the longest running international refining technology event in China, we look forward to hearing from you anytime from now onwards.
As was the case last year, our preference is for case study based papers outlining process solutions. We would point out that speaking slots tend to fill quickly for Refining China and, also, that we have to turn down a number of proposals that didn't sufficiently meet the criteria we had set, so in order to maximize your chance of acceptance, do, please, submit early and take note of our preferences.
