Going beyond the benchmarks – 2023 Workshops @ APPEC

We invite you to join us Going Beyond the Benchmarks – Pricing Workshops at APPEC

These three workshops are an opportunity to ask questions and give you views on obstacles and challenges today across the Biofuels, Dated Brent, and Carbon markets. View all three workshop agendas below.

Learn more about the changes Platts, now part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has observed in these markets and how our methodology has evolved to keep up with these changes.

These sessions will be as interactive as possible, where our editors will do a deep dive into the market landscape, the market-on-close assessment process, and increasing relevance of benchmark pricing as traditional pricing structures break down.

Date: Wednesday, September 6, 2023
Location: Bras Basah Room, Raffles City Convention Centre, Level 4
