“With oil prices at all-time lows and the COVID-19 pandemic causing demand to flatline, downstream players need to come together to chart a route through an uncertain future,” said Kerr Jeferies, Global Project Director for Petrochemical Update, the Reuters Events unit staging the event. He added: “It is more important than ever for there to be fluid dialogue between all those affected by our new market reality […] Running Downstream 2020 as a virtual event will ensure our experts can reach as wide an audience as possible, contributing to the search for solutions.”

The Downstream 2020 virtual event will include:
