Petroleum Ukraine. Warsaw`26

Date
June 2
Venue
Westin Warsaw Hotel

The Petroleum Ukraine. Warsaw’26 conference was attended by more than 280 delegates from 21 countries, most of whom were from Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Lithuania, Slovakia, and Moldova. The number of participating companies was 121.

Although Petroleum Ukraine is already the largest forum in terms of attendance, at least in Eastern Europe, its main distinction is not the number of participants but their quality. The vanguard of the market, including all the key organizations that influence the work of the Ukrainian petroleum products market, both in Ukraine and neighboring countries, gathered in one place.

The forum’s general partners were ORLEN and Ukrnafta — the largest companies in Poland and Ukraine. Also among the partners were the leaders of the retail market and the largest importers, OKKO, WOG, and UPG. The western direction of wholesale supplies was represented by UNIMOT and ZPEK, one of the largest suppliers across the Polish border, and the southern direction by AGTG, Rinaco Trade, and Kemexon, key players on the Danube. The Naftogaz group served as a special partner.

In the informal communication, Petroleum Ukraine. Warsaw’26 also differed from previous forums: for the first time, participants warmed up their communication skills at the ZPEK dinner before the session day, and after the conference, the traditional Petroleum People reception from AGTG gathered a record number of guests.

Today, we can confidently say that Petroleum Ukraine is shaping a new culture of industry meetings in Poland, as it once did in Ukraine.
