Fuel Distribution Forum 2010

OpenRoom events is taking the winning formula of the PetroForum and applying it to the Fuel Distribution sector. The event has already gained support from several key suppliers including Mabanaft, Eurotank and Elaflex and twenty of the leading distributors throughout the UK and Irish market.

Fiona Horan, OpenRoom Events director, says, “This new networking event will enable distributors and suppliers to get together on neutral territory, with the format offering one-to-one pre-scheduled 15-minute meetings. It was one of our clients who suggested that this formula would transfer well to the fuel distribution sector and we are delighted with the response so far.”

The event will open with a conference that will address some key issues surrounding fuel supply, including the impact of Bio Fuels. Rod Prowse will be chairman and will also be presenting the Value Oils.com model, the first 100% internet based distributor with its unique e-commerce format. Following the conference the one-to-one meetings will be supported by plenty of informal networking opportunities.

Testimonals from previous OpenRoom forums:

“The mix between conference, business meetings and social ensured that I met a large number of people from a wide variety of companies in different circumstances. I also think that I got to know people far better for being 'captured' together in the same environment. I made a lot of new business contacts and picked up quite a few new ideas.” Rory Clarke, Rix Petroleum

“The “speed dating” concept works really well – how else could you meet that many people in so short a time!! – I really enjoyed the whole session and am already in dialogue with some of those I met with more contact to come!!” Steve Jones, Arval UK

“What worked was the format. The opportunity to interact casually during lunch or dinner with other participants was very good. We learned a lot from each other during these informal meetings. The meeting format for one-to-one interaction was very good and it allowed both the supplier and the buyer to have focused discussions. Overall it was a good learning experience”. Punit Mehra, Essar Oil Limited, India
