Shutdowns Calgary 2012 - The Proven Forum for Game-Changing Turnaround Strategies

This December join global operators, top contractors, and leading solution providers in the turnaround community at this much anticipated annual event. Get the critical information you need to execute a turnaround that's on time, on budget and does not compromise safety.

The 11th Annual Shutdowns Superconference in Calgary is the place where turnaround experts gather to discuss, debate and share ideas that you won’t find anywhere else.
This is the premier shutdown event in the world.

The Shutdowns Superconference is an event uniquely distinguished from all others with current content that is completely in-touch with the industry’s top issues.  Superior networking opportunities allows you to build business relations with key owner operators and solution experts.  If you want to want to learn how to manage your turnaround – instead of letting it manage you, this is an event you don’t want to miss.

The 10th annual Shutdowns Superconference held on December 6 & 7, 2011 in Calgary was a great success, bringing together turnaround experts in the same place at the same time to focus on the most relevant issues and find solutions to the major challenges the industry faces today.   The 2 day event gave delegates, speakers and sponsors the chance to learn as well as the opportunity to have open discussions in the exhibit area, and at the many networking breaks.
