Message from the ProducerBusiness within the energy industry is evolving. Achieving sustainable profitability is vital to that evolution. As the “new normal” unfolds in the oil and gas industry, organizations are focusing on being more agile by harnessing efficiencies to drive profitability on the horizon. Businesses are striving to drive proficiencies in both front-and-back office operations while navigating what that looks like in terms of SAP support. To succeed at this digital turning point, oil and gas companies need to design and implement a coherent digital vision with clearly articulated strategies.

As Eventful Conferences, in collaboration with ASUG and SAP, prepares for the 8th annual Best Practices for Oil & Gas conference, we will be uncovering the pathway that follows our theme of Shaping the Intelligent Energy Enterprise.

Best Practices for Oil & Gas gives you access to global thought leaders, peers, and industry-specific experts. Many hours of customer-driven research have led us to curate track sessions covering the greatest challenges that you and your peers are facing, such as robotic process automation (RPA), digital strategy/innovation (AI, IoT, ML, Blockchain, S/4HANA) and how to align your business objectives with SAPS’s roadmap. Each presentation will help you to leverage information to offer brilliant insights into your business.

Rounding out the event are groundbreaking keynotes and unprecedented networking opportunities with senior leadership, decision-makers, business process owners, analysts, super users, support teams, and solution providers. If you have questions, someone at #BPOG has answers!

We look forward to this conference delivering incredible value to your organization. #BPOG is a great opportunity for you to network and build lasting relationships amongst your peers. Eventful Conferences takes immense pride in the events we produce and we enjoyed crafting this year’s event in collaboration with the entire oil & gas community.

We are excited to see you in Texas in September!
