4th DHL Global Energy Conference

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to the DHL Global Energy Conference on October 6th 2016 in Houston, Texas, USA.

The theme of this year’s conference – ‘Operating in the New Normal’ – conveys our promise of a lively topical and far-reaching debate about

the logistics and supply chain strategies, partnerships, and innovations required to succeed in the new environment of low hydrocarbon prices,

mixed energy sources, and a shifted powerbase.

Last year’s conference was attended by more than 80 energy industry experts and senior-level decision makers representing the world’s leading

energy companies. Their feedback reflected 100% satisfaction in the speakers, themes, topic selection, and networking opportunities. We are

therefore building on these strengths to deliver this year’s conference: a full-day event with an informative and engaging agenda of keynotes,

panel discussions, customer case studies, and more. For the very first time, delegates will also be offered a choice of interactive breakout

sessions, allowing time in the schedule for smaller groups to take deep dives into topics of particular interest.

Also for the first time, our conference will be hosted at the JW Marriott Houston Downtown, a luxury venue set in a historic Houston skyscraper

with ample event space for all of our plenary and breakout sessions. Now in its 4th year, the DHL Global Energy Conference is gaining reputation

as a key industry platform for energy logistics. As always, the success of the event depends on delegate contributions and interactions; you will

be warmly encouraged to share your knowledge, experience, and best practices.

I do hope you will be able to join us this year. Please visit our event website and register today.

Along with all my colleagues in the DHL Energy Team, I look forward to welcoming you in Houston.

Yours sincerely,

Steve Harley

Our conference theme „OPERATING IN THE NEW NORMAL“

Much has changed over the past 12 months. Energy is operating in a very

different environment, characterized by low hydrocarbon prices and a growing

interest in renewables. This is the ‘new normal’ and the DHL Global Energy

Conference 2016 will provide a unique platform for exploring logistics and the

impact on supply chains in this changed environment.

The conference theme ‘Operating in the New Normal’ proposes that any return

to higher levels of exploration and oil price increases are likely to occur in a new

environment of mixed energy sources and a shifted powerbase. Delegate will

consider the value of long-term logistics and supply chain strategies built around

partnerships and innovation.

This ever-popular annual event is attended by the energy industry’s key

influencers. In a full-day agenda, we will focus on trends, opportunities, and best

practices, showcasing unique logistics and cost-optimization solutions, customer

case studies, and lively panel discussions with delegates from international

energy companies, service companies, EPCs, and drilling companies.
