WEBSITE

"OpenRoom consistently produces an effortless, world-class event that offers guaranteed engagement with petroleum leaders and suppliers. As a supplier, one doesn't often have the opportunity to have so many meaningful encounters in such a short space of time. Often, decision makers are not accessible, yet ReFuelForum offers the opportunity to spend two intensive days with almost all of them. SloanLED has always seen a positive return on investment from this event"
