Following the success of Global Technology Forum's worldwide series of refining technology conferences and training courses with the help of our elite advisory boards, we have launched GTForum.com – the authoritative online resource of technical news content, analysis and comment for the downstream oil refining and petrochemical industry.

GTForum.com is an online magazine dedicated to reaching senior engineering professionals. Delivering cutting-edge research, white papers, refining and marketing news as well as project updates and refinery shutdowns will be a major focus.

A suite of compelling video interviews with leading industry figures is available in our Media Centre. Select presentations given at ERTC and ARTC will also be available for viewing and download. GTF with its own in-house studios will professionally deliver the finest editorially-led online seminars from the industry's leading technology vendors.
