EPCA plans in-person annual event in October

MADRID (ICIS)–The European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) is to hold an in-person annual forum on 4-6 October in Berlin, subject to pandemic developments, the trade group said on Monday.

It will be EPCA’s 56th annual event.

The group’s last two annual events were held virtually due to travel restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The event is planned as an in-person event. The team is monitoring and will follow the latest health and safety measurements,” said the trade group’s CEO in a letter to EPCA member companies.

EPCA’s financing partly depends on the annual event attendees’ fees, from which the trade group has been deprived for two consecutive years.

Some of the financing also comes from companies’ membership fees. In her letter to members, Caroline Ciuciu thanked them for their “essential contribution”.

“A dedicated email with the membership invoice will be sent to the billing contact in the course of January 2022,” she concluded.
