FORGING CANADA’S OILSANDS SUPPLY CHAIN OCTOBER 23-25, 2012 | SHAW CONFERENCE CENTRE | EDMONTON, ALBERTA For the last 11 years, the National Buyer/Seller Forum (NBSF) has been the pre-eminent gathering for buyers and sellers along the oilsands supply chain—a place to meet, connect, discuss issues and opportunities, and do business. Given the significant activity, challenges, and opportunities ahead for the oilsands industry, the Forum is more important than ever. Over those 11 years, much has changed in the oilsands industry, so the show must change as well. The focus of our significantly enhanced program this year will be on building and improving a world-class, sustainable supply chain for Canada’s oilsands. We’ve assembled the most ambitious program in the show’s history, allowing companies along all levels of the supply chain to learn about and connect with more opportunities in the oilsands. It’s also a great opportunity for buyers to expand their supply base and meet new, innovative, competitive suppliers.
s Link ge Showcase and n Lou Networking Hub The totally redesigned showcase and networking area is a key component of the forum this year. Designed with high-end networking in mind, this area will feature supplier showcase areas, food and drink, live demos and simulations and other exciting components. Breaks and lunches will be located in the Links Lounge and this area will be a hot spot for meeting with industry players and potential partners and customers.
