• The Call for Papers process can be competitive

with up to 1 in 4 accepted and even higher some
times. Make sure to fill the form out properly –
what you write will be seen by our Advisors.

• Topics presented elsewhere will lose points

on innovation, try to put a new spin on your
presentation.

• Think of your regional audience - how will this

technology help them? Add 3 takeaways that are
clear on the value the presentation brings.

• Co-presentations: a supplier and a refiner tend

to score the highest as they demonstrate a
technology in use. If you plan to co-present, do
note it.

• Case studies and real life examples also score

highly over theoretical presentations.
