INVITATION MESSAGE

Invitation to Attend

We are honored to invite you to actively support and participate in the 1st Middle East Advanced Refractory Materials Technical Exchange and Exhibition, scheduled for February 2026 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The conference theme for this edition is: “Engineered to Endure: Refractory Innovations for High-performance Industries.” In the oil and gas industry, refractory materials serve as the silent workhorses of high-temperature operations—from refining and catalytic cracking to LNG processing and petrochemical manufacturing. Despite their critical role, there remains a noticeable gap in MENAspecific dialogue surrounding refractory specifications, failure analysis and lifecycle costing—an opportunity that must not be overlooked

This two-day technical symposium and exhibition aims to spotlight the indispensable role of refractory technologies in enhancing performance, safety and reliability across operations. With a strong emphasis on innovation, lifecycle extension and advanced inspection technologies, the event will feature practical case studies, expert insights into material selection, failure mitigation and refurbishment strategies along with a focused exhibition area for hands-on solution demonstrations.

It will also highlight the commercial and operational needs for such a platform-especially in light of recurring failures, unplanned incidents, H2S-related risks and the growing demand for on-the-spot solutions with high reliability with particular emphasis on:

We look forward to welcoming you as speakers, sponsors, exhibitors or contributing delegates, helping make this event a truly valuable knowledgesharing and networking platform for the region’s energy and process industries.
