FORGING CANADAS 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 chaina 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 Canadas oilsands. Weve assembled the most ambitious program in the shows history, allowing companies along all levels of the supply chain to learn about and connect with more opportunities in the oilsands. Its also a great opportunity for buyers to expand their supply base and meet new, innovative, competitive suppliers.
