Re-Energizing Chemistry As a partner committed to creating chemistry, BASF congratulates Pittsburgh Chemical Day for 46 years of building a more sustainable industry.

basf.com/chemistry Welcome to Pittsburgh Chemical Day 2013

On behalf of the Joint Chemical Group of Pittsburgh, we welcome you to the 46th annual Pittsburgh Chemical Day conference.

Our goal at Pittsburgh Chemical Day is to provide an atmosphere that will assist you in generating new network connections to capitalize on industry relationships, optimize opportunities to reinforce the best solutions for your business, listen to industry experts to broaden visions and scope that may be critical for future growth, and gather information to stay ahead of the evolving industry.

The explosion of shale-gas production has become a hot topic in the petrochemical industry with executives calling the possible additional petrochemical feedstocks from shale-derived natural gas liquids a “game changer.” This natural partnership, and its challenges and opportunities will be examined during this year’s conference. We hope you find this conference both enjoyable and informative.

This conference could not happen without the help of many dedicated people. Please take a moment to read the lists of committee members and other contributors, and say thank you when you have a chance.
