AP-Networks Houston held its annual Turnaround Industry Networking Conference in the Energy Corridor, Houston on May 15th, 2025. This no-cost, owner-operator only forum allowed STO professionals to come together and discuss the challenges facing our Industry as well as to share their successes and experiences. Back by popular demand were two Breakout Sessions which allowed smaller groups to discuss topics in detail, guided and facilitated by AP-Networks associates.
In addition to an overview Industry benchmarking and trends there were two client presentations this year. Chad Harrison of INVISTA spoke about the steps his site has taken in a multi-year journey towards building a culture of turnaround excellence. Dave Maher from Delek talked about how Delek is using data and information to improve their STO performance.Â
Keeping with TINC America tradition our evening program was held at Top Golf where we were able to enjoy beverages, a fajita dinner, and show off our golf skills!Â
