	Cost, Capacity & Personnel: Critical Challenges for Oil Services & Support · The capacity constraints that plague almost all sectors of the global petroleum business are proving difficult to overcome, especially as the industry confronts continued tight supply of critical inputs such as skilled labor and specialized equipment. How will these challenges affect not only the oil services sector but other support sectors as well?
	From Spare Capacity to the Next Supply Crisis · Top industry experts will analyze the global oil supply picture and the refining outlook. Key issues will include: — The effects of the economic crisis on investments — The supply implications of various price scenarios — The potential and likely locations of new supply growth
	New US and EU Energy Policies and Priorities · Obama's election heralds a new direction in US energy policy, a new policy response to the carbon challenge, and a new set of incentives to develop new energy sources to reduce the US dependence on imported oil. Our panel of experts will examine these changing policies and shifting priorities of the new US administration as well as the degree of congruence and conflict with European energy priorities.
	30th Anniversary Forum: Then and Now · Welcome to this historic 30th consecutive gathering of the annual Oil & Money conference hosted by Energy Intelligence and the International Herald Tribune. We are very proud of this anniversary and we are pleased you are with us to celebrate it.
	The Financial Crisis and Its Impact on the Energy Business: A Forum · Our panel of energy and financial experts will address the short- and long-term implications of the financial crisis and present a wide range of closely reasoned perspectives on future outcomes for the oil industry. We will also venture some introspective analysis on how the industry got the supply and price picture so wrong.
	New Dimensions in Oil Trading · The unprecedented volatility of oil prices and the financial crisis are fostering a range of new challenges to oil trading. How will a new regulatory environment and greater pressures on oil as an asset class transform oil trading?
	Global Natural Gas: Feast or Famine? · As with the oil industry, the global natural gas business is facing price pressures and global instability. This panel will investigate topics ranging from North American non-conventional gas sources to European supply security and the impacts on the global gas business of lower gas prices.
	The Coming Carbon Economy: What It Means for Oil and Gas · While leaders in many nations discuss ambitious targets for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, a debate rages within the energy industry about how to respond. This panel will attempt to answer the following questions and examine their implications for the energy industry: — What are the likely costs and opportunities of different options for meeting the targets? — How will the oil and gas business change as a result?
	The Geopolitics of Energy · The political nature of energy, perennially linked to the sources of supply and demand, always attracts public attention at moments of crisis. However, the current geopolitics of energy have become as complex as they have ever been, as energy security issues once again have risen to public prominence and the industry continues to grapple with the tensions and challenges of the evolving relationships between NOCs and IOCs.
