bringing business to business
Oil and Gas
Environmental legislation, divestment by the majors, mergers and acquisitions, razor tight margins and building customer loyalty are just some of the challenges facing oil companies and fuel retailers across the globe.
The first of OpenRoom’s portfolio of PetroForums ran in 2004 and the events now span Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. They bring senior oil company executives alongside international providers of downstream products and services for open dialogue, presentations and face to face meetings.
Retail
Retail is changing. Shifting demographics, changing wealth patterns, the mobile age and new retail channels are making existing formats obsolete. Technology is emerging as the new star in the mix.
OpenRoom’s retail portfolio currently incorporates the convenience and pharmacy sectors in the UK and Ireland and retail technology across Africa, with new events in planning for Asia Pacific.
Financial Services
Insurance and banking are undergoing profound changes. Across the world, infrastructure development, population growth and improved health is driving up demand for insurance – while in the banking sector, a new customer-centric approach is at the heart of revolutionary change. In both, technology is emerging as the driving force.
The BankingTech and InsuranceTech Forums for Africa are open to senior IT specialists and business strategists and bring direct contact with international vendors through their distinctive programs of one-to-ones.
Healthcare
Intensifying competition, new, alternative channels, squeezed healthcare budgets, an ageing population, a demand for convenience and improved health consciousness are key factors in shaping the UK healthcare sector.
OpenRoom’s Dental and Pharmacy Forums are all about how to respond to these forces for change – and how to differentiate and provide ever more relevant services to meet the challenge. In development for 2016 is a specialist forum for the veterinary sector.
Big Data
The exponential increase of data storage needs has set the data centre services industry on a huge trajectory for growth. Businesses are becoming smarter about how they collect and use data; energy efficiency and a growing emphasis on compliance and security will sustain demand in the medium term. Long term, the need for global connectivity will become increasingly important as demand for emerging markets kicks in.
OpenRoom’s first event in this sector addressed the UK market – with new events scheduled for the Middle East and in planning for Asia Pacific.
