The Negotiation Skills Workshop is taught by practitioners not only experts in negotiations, but with a wealth of oil and gas industry knowledge. Highly-rated and hands-on, this workshop focuses on commercial and cultural issues and other matters that affect how negotiators practice their craft on the ground in host countries. Drawing on their extensive experience, the faculty make this workshop as close to real world as possible.

This workshop is specifically designed to assist individuals relatively new to commercial negotiations and/or the international side of the E&P industry; however, it is also a fantastic refresher for more senior negotiators seeking to sharpen their negotiating skills.

Attendees will finish with a heightened awareness of all the issues that can affect international negotiations and be better prepared for deal-making.

Don't miss your opportunity to participate in this very informative and highly interactive program!
