Petroleum Connection offers high-level conferences on targeted issues in the dynamic and important oil and gas industry. Few industries are generating as much present and future growth and opportunity as the oil and gas industry; and few industries also carry such important political implications and human issues—from the health of local communities and the environment to national security, energy independence, and world dynamics. We know that the understanding, creativity, practical know-how, and relationships necessary to harness, drive and direct the goods of the industry come down to a very personal level. Our conferences are intentionally limited in size and focus on niche, but important, issues that have many "spokes"—connected parts, interests, and implications. Located at top resorts, we provide excellent hospitality and an atmosphere conducive to frank discussions, easy networking with industry leaders, broad context, and personal engagement. In our way and in our content, we look to inject a key factor into the mix of things that adds necessary perspective—the human factor.
