TESTIMONIALS FROM BGS GROUP EVENTS

Kelly Harred

Chief Customer Officer

Imubit

There's been some very insightful speakers on stage, a very relevant topics in the industry. And as well we've seen both customers of ours here and potential customers.

Thomas Ludwig

LFO-Pool Manager

Shell Energy & Chemicals Park Rheinland

AUTOMA is a good platform to get into contact with the latest innovations and technology and digitalisation but also automation. And I think it's good for us to get a calibration where technology goes, where we are as a company and what way we want to go in the future.

Maikel van Iersel

Head of Process Technology Hydrocarbons

Borealis AG

I think it has been very smooth. Best timekeeping I've ever seen. So that's for sure a very positive element. A lot of networking. A good facilitation, I've also not seen that before, where you are practically been approached, because there are companies interested in a talk.

Markus Hartung

Vice President Head of Global Commercial Processes & Region EMEA Catalysts

Evonik Operations GmbH

Networking opportunities are fantastic at the conference, the breaks are longer than usual which is fantastic because over drinks and food you can connect with people, you can talk.

Luigi Anselmi

Head of Construction

Tecnimont SpA

AUTOMA has become a community rather than just a conference. And this is the positive thing. That means that there is something, there is a strong foundation, upon which people believe.

Jan Willems

Director Project Controls — Fluor Fellow of Data Integration

Fluor

It's cool! I mean, you meet a lot of companies that are either working with us, partnering with us or are potential customers.

Wander Ricardo Ferreira Lopes

Head of Business Management Ammonia Based Chemicals

BASF SE

I've been to many conferences before, but I think about all preparation that you do on the apps and preparing for a good networking, all the work that you do behind the scenes. And the work with my personal manager was exactly the case. I think she did a very good job and really prepared me to make the most out of it.

Alfredo Lopez Carretero

Global head safety, energy and sustainability

Moeve Chemicals

It was useful to have somebody on top of us, in charge of every single detail. She has been very efficient and helping us to contact the suppliers that we were looking for, arranging meetings and solving every logistic feature. Very useful.
