With estimated projects at more than $100 billion and growing in North America, ECF is the best opportunity to connect with major project leaders in the energy industry, interact with key engineering firms and suppliers, and engage on topics regarding the opportunities, challenges and solutions for the current state of the industry. The forum caters to companies involved in major projects: expansions, new construction and infrastructure development for the petrochemical, refining, chemical, pipeline, terminals & storage, loading/transfer systems, GTL, LNG and NGLs industries.
With an attendance of 350+ in its inaugural year, including leading E&C firms and OOs, the conference and expo brought together many of the leading stakeholders for our market. With added support through the creation of the advisory board, we look forward to a prominent and expanded event for 2016. In this turbulent oil & gas economy, the Energy Construction Forum demonstrates the resilience of one of America’s most dynamic industries and the launch of a new gathering place for energy project leaders and stakeholders to come together and find solutions.
