At the centre of global trade shifts, build resilience that lasts

 

When conflict closes routes, fractures supply, and sends costs spiralling, every decision feels critical. 

The 21st ICIS Middle Eastern Base Oils and Lubricants Conference is where that pressure becomes a plan, by gaining real‑time analysis, trusted peer perspectives, and the connections needed to navigate disrupted routes, rising costs, and tightening supply. It’s where strategies are strengthened, partnerships are forged, and new opportunities emerge.

In a market shaken by disruption, the right conversations can change everything.

Whats On in 2026:

  • Networking events: The value that happens between the sessions, where honest conversations turn shared challenges into collective action, and relationships into resilience in a volatile market.
  • Base Oils I & II Training: True intelligence is knowing you don't know everything,  deepen your understanding of base oil processing, technologies, and evolving specifications, equipping you and your team to make more informed decisions.
  • A Dynamic Agenda: Hear from leaders from across the value chain as well as market experts as they deep dive into the biggest challenges of the day, as well as looking forward to future predictions.
