THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MEETING

High level specialists and professionals from country members will take part in the meeting broadcast from Buenos Aires.

Many of them have important responsibilities managing or advising oil & gas and energy related companies. Because of their membership in national academies, many participants and speakers are researchers in advanced technologies. Some of them are working for the governments of

their own country.

The 2021 meeting in Buenos Aires will provide an opportunity for people involved in energy projects and companies to follow up with the latest

technology advances.
