Working with our partner Chemical Industry Roundtables, Damien and I travelled to Xi’an China for the 2013 China Petroleum and Chemical International Conference. More than 800 delegates heard presentations from top chemical industry executives from China and abroad.
The event was held in Xi’an at the Shannxi Provincial Governments’ “guesthouse”, a large complex of conference facilities and hotel rooms. The facilities were first-rate and extensive, allowing for the organizers from the CPCIF to showcase sponsors and presentations very effectively.
