GDA INTERNATIONAL DOWNSTREAM CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION

Due to concerns over the recent further outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) and in consideration of the health and safety of participants, the GDA Board has decided to postpone the event from 31st May – 2nd June 2022 to 14th - 16th February 2023. 

Throughout the pandemic, GDA has remained committed to ultimately delivering a high value downstream in person-event for the largest possible audience. Our founding members are determined to wait for the right conditions to deliver a truly successful gathering up to your expectations. 

As we navigate this period, the GDA Secretariat along with the GDA Technical Committees will continue its work to ensure that we build a relevant and comprehensive program that brings together downstream professionals to address global business challenges, share best practices and unlock potential opportunities through collaboration and partnerships.

We look forward to seeing you in 2023!
