"It is
THE upstream conference that serves as an indicator to what specific competencies are needed now and in the future.
ATCE is an excellent venue for all of us to obtain a broad range of information and offers us the ability to network with colleagues throughout the industry from all over the world. Sharing and learning from each other is the mission of SPE and no other event brings us all together like ATCE."
