About National Buyer/Seller Forum (NBSF)
OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH INNOVATIVE SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERSHIPS
Canada has the second largest oil reserves on the planet, 97% of which are in the oil sands. And the world has taken notice. With a huge pipeline of international investment flowing to Canadian oil sands developments, activity levels are expected to set new records by 2012, again placing massive demand on North America’s industrial/commercial service and supply markets. CERI is predicting that oil sands development will contribute $1.7 Trillion to the Canadian economy in the next 25 years.
Oil sands developments are in a class of their own in terms of complexity, scope, and scale of demand for supplies and services. Can our supply chain keep up? Recent history says no – at least not under the traditional supply chain model.
That’s why energy producers (and smart suppliers) are re-building the supply chain into a series of extensive partnerships that form integrated supply networks to handle growing procurement demands. As a result, suppliers need to re-think how they get business and deliver services. Collaboration will be key to success. Supply chain partners must be regional, national and global. Information and processes must flow across corporate boundaries. And competitors need to become partners.
As a supplier, if you understand the new supply chain, you’ll understand where you can fit and where your best opportunities lie. You must attend the 2011 National Buyer/Seller forum to learn about6 the new oil sands supply chain and connect yourself with its opportunities. We’ve assembled an influential group of oilsands executives and supply chain leaders who will spend two full days working with you to do just that.
