Why You Should Attend the 2011 Shutdowns Superconference

Now in our 10th successful year, The Canadian Institute’s 2011 Shutdowns Superconference is the most established and largest turnaround event in Canada. This year’s forum has been designed to give you the most forward-thinking techniques to manage your shutdowns and turnarounds. You will have the opportunity to delve into the entire turnaround life cycle from initial planning through to start up and close out, and learn how to improve your future projects by reducing costs and minimizing downtime. Discuss, debate and share ideas that really work so that you can improve the performance of your next turnaround.


With more operator-led case studies and in-depth presentations, this year’s event delivers a new agenda focusing on the most relevant issues and solutions that will strengthen your turnaround. Whether you’re an operator, contractor, or supplier this must-attend forum will allow you to walk away with the knowledge and tools to effectively coordinate and lead a successful shutdown. Increased networking time will give you more opportunities to benchmark with your peers and leaders in the industry.
