MarketMakers is an energy outlook forum custom designed for energy executives and industry experts in exploration, production, investment banking, capital markets, trading, M&A and downstream operations to share experiences, opportunities & positive ideas in a volatile market.

MarketMakers will explore new and existing opportunities for capital formation, exploration, hedging, pricing, services and asset transactions. Featuring an all-star line-up, Marketmakers is designed to leave delegates with a new and proper perspective for these interesting times.

MarketMakers is brought to you by PLS, Inc., a U.S. and Canadian based marketing and publishing firm with offices and personnel in Houston, Midland, Los Angeles, New York and Calgary. The company is also a leading conference and exposition host with fifteen years experience with Dealmakers (asset driven conference) and Playmakers (an e&p focused event held in Calgary and Houston each year). PLS’s early exposition efforts under the Dealmakers brand formed the genesis of Summer Nape.

PLS is excited about its latest forum, which promises to be another excellent opportunity for leading energy executives to conference, network and establish new business opportunities. Like our Dealmakers and Playmakers events, Marketmakers will include solid networking opportunities such as an evening cocktail and networking reception for attendees, sponsors & speakers.
