Honeywell’s 25th Users Group conference
August 2013
News
Knowledge is the theme of this year’s Honeywell Users Group conference for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the 25th year the event has been held. It will be staged from the 4th to 7th November in Nice, France.
Knowledge and understanding make ‘it’ happen – whether ‘it’ is reducing cost, evolving a plant’s system or improving a specific aspect of plant operations. Honeywell Users Group (HUG) global conferences feature many ways to share and exchange knowledge. These include information-packed user presentations, industry-specific breakout sessions, topical panel discussions, hands-on demonstrations and networking opportunities to interact with users and Honeywell experts.
As always, the conference agenda is driven by customer input through the EMEA HUG steering committee. This includes representatives from major oil, gas and petrochemical organisations including Total, Shell, BP, Repsol, SABIC, Marathon Oil, PDO Oman, Equate and others like British Sugar. This year’s conference will be hosted by steering committee chairman, Dominique Rouille from ExxonMobil.
Throughout the three day conference, Honeywell customers will share insights and best practices into how greater safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability can be achieved across vertical process industries including chemicals, oil and gas, refining, mining and minerals, metals and pharmaceutical, through the use of innovative process control solutions.
The winner of the 2013 Honeywell student challenge to solve a critical plant business issue using Honeywell UniSim Design Suite will also be announced at EMEA HUG, with the winner’s idea being showcased at the conference.
