The conversations everyone will be talking about are happening at The PRIME Expo. On August 18, 2026, industry professionals from across the Gulf Coast will gather in Pasadena, Texas, for a day of networking, innovation, and real-world knowledge sharing.

One of the most anticipated parts of this year’s event will be the Industry Leadership Panels — three panel discussions led by some of the region’s most respected plant professionals. Representatives from companies including Afton Chemical, Arkema, Covestro, CPChem, LyondellBasell, PEMEX, INEOS, Invista, and many more will take the stage to discuss the maintenance, reliability, inspection, engineering, and operational challenges impacting today’s industrial facilities.

These won’t be sales presentations — they are candid conversations with the professionals responsible for keeping some of the Gulf Coast’s largest and most complex facilities operating safely, efficiently, and reliably.

Attendees will gain valuable insight into:
• Proven strategies for improving reliability and uptime
• Lessons learned from real-world operational challenges
• Emerging technologies and industry trends
• Best practices in maintenance, inspection, and asset integrity
• How leading facilities are preparing for the future

Whether you’re an owner-operator, engineer, maintenance professional, inspector, reliability leader, contractor, manufacturer, or supplier, these discussions will provide practical takeaways you can apply within your own organization.

Highlights:
• Three Industry Leadership Panels
• Hear directly from leading owner-operators
• FREE lunch
• FREE networking happy hour
• All-day access to the exhibit floor
