Connecting Middle Eastern supply with global demand across the full value chain

The ICIS Middle Eastern Base Oils and Lubricants Conference returns to Dubai, where it all began 20 years ago. Bigger, bolder and more globally connected, an event designed to deliver greater access to the people and companies that matter.

Get the clarity to align views, challenge assumptions and prepare for what comes next. This is your opportunity to hear from leading companies, understand multiple market scenarios and build strategies that hold up under pressure.

Meet the businesses leading base oils production, trade and blending across the Middle East and beyond. From regional independents to super majors, the right people are in the room to explore supply routes, negotiate volumes and build partnerships.

ICIS delivers what you value most: trusted insight, senior access and a proven track record of bringing the right people together. Backed by decades of experience, this is where strategies are shaped, intelligence is shared and business gets done.

The right people. The right room.
Dubai. 15-16 October
