International Success at NAPE®

I finally got a chance to catch up with Fred Lawrence and talk about the success of Wednesday’s International Forum. He had some great analysis to share and so…

Fred’s take:

“The record attendance of prospect promoters and attendees is symptomatic of market conditions; lower commodity prices are going to make companies look for partners as they adjust to the new price environment. The growth of the International Pavilion (at the Expo) and the International Forum illustrates the increasingly global context of networking and business development especially with more price volatility and declining access to reserves.”

“This year, for the first time we added a third room to accomodate 50 prospect presenters from around the world, from Greenland to the North Sea, to Kazakhstan and Malaysia. The morning IHS presentations and the afternoon prospect promotion presentations will be available on the IHS website, www.ihs.com.”

There you have it.

And for desert, a shot back to yesterday’s lunch show…
