0830–100025-Year Club Breakfast The 25-Year Club will host a breakfast with a keynote presentation. The club, open daily, provides a special lounge for SPE members with 25 years or more of continuous membership, Century Club members, current and former SPE Board officers and directors, as well as this year’s SPE International Award Winners and Distinguished Lecturers.

1030–1200 Opening General Session: Affordable EnergyA panel of experts will discuss the options for affordable energy, now that the era for easy oil and gas is over. As the world’s population grows and standards of living rise in developing countries, so the demand for energy continues to increase, likely doubling between 2000 and 2050. However, governments, industries and consumers alike must be able and willing to pay the price for that energy. Affordable energy has many facets that must be considered. Climate change may cause more extreme weather—higher rainfall, surging waves, and drought—that require existing and new facilities to be adapted. Water use and consumption by the oil and gas industry is coming under scrutiny, requiring more sophisticated and thus more expensive solutions. Public and government concerns about our industry’s safety and environmental record may lead to more stringent policies and regulations that have their own price tag. Against these pressures, other forms of energy are competing with the traditional energy carriers. In the global energy market of the future, the oil and gas industry must keep costs under control, manage environmental impacts, and advocate

All tours will include beverages (tea, coffee, and a beer during the Heineken Experience). It is recommended that you dress appropriately for autumn in the Netherlands and that you wear comfortable walking shoes.

To sign up, visit www.spe.org/go/atcepreview and look for Guest Tours under the Schedule tab.

Zaanse Schans and Edam tour 5 hoursSunday, 26 OctoberEUR 36.50 per person The tour will start with a small drive to the windmill village of the Zaanse Schans, a characteristic living and working area on the River Zaan, with wooden houses and windmills dating back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The original buildings vividly depict Dutch life in those times. Zaanse Schans is a fully inhabited, open-air conservation area and is located nine miles north of Amsterdam. Before returning to Amsterdam, you will visit the medieval town of Edam. Edam is a town rich with history. Shipbuilding played an important role in its growth during the 17th century. Edam once had 33 shipyards and one of the more famous ships built in Edam is the Halve Maan, the ship used by Henry Hudson in his attempt to discover a northern route to the East Indies in 1609. A futile attempt, in fact, because he ended up on the island of Manhattan. The most obvious association with Edam is its cheese. For centuries the well-known round Edam cheeses have been sent from the town to all corners of the world. The cheese market, once again restored to its place of honour, operates weekly during the summer months. The nearby cheese warehouses keep alive the memory of a colourful past.

TOURSG u E S t

Panoramic Sightseeing tour of Amsterdam Including Private Boat Tour4 hoursSunday, 26 October and Monday, 27 OctoberEUR 47 per personThe tour will go through some of the most panoramic and historic areas of Amsterdam. It will start along the Amstel River with the skinny wooden bridge, the Munt Tower, and the floating flower market before making its way through Dam Square, the Royal Palace, New Church, the Amsterdam Central Station, the museum, and the antique quarters. The tour will also pass through the oldest part of Amsterdam called “the Jordaan” with its quaint little streets. You will also get to see Amsterdam from the water during a one-hour canal cruise. The cruise will glide through the old centre of the city and into its harbour, where you will see merchants’ mansions, churches, and warehouses dating back to the 17th century.

Heineken Experience1.5 hoursSunday, 26 October and Tuesday, 28 OctoberEUR 16.50 per personThe tour will take you through the malt silos for a peek inside the mash coppers. You will have the opportunity to stand amidst the lager cellar tanks used to mature the young, green beer. You will then be taken on a voyage of discovery through the World of Heineken. The malt silo in the authentic brew house still has the original brewing vessels and you can enjoy a refreshing glass of Heineken beer in the Brewhouse Bar. The experience ends in the See You Again Bar. The former Heineken brewery is a national monument and is listed as an anchor point along the European Route of Industrial Heritage. It is also one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Dutch capital.

Amsterdam City tour including Anne Frank House and Diamond Factory4 hoursSunday, 26 October and Wednesday, 29 OctoberEUR 45 per personAnne Frank House is the hiding place where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary during World War II. The original of the diary is on display as part of the permanent exhibition. Visiting the house has been a moving experience for millions of people from all over the world. When the tour leaves you will proceed with a panoramic drive through the oldest part of Amsterdam called “de Jordaan” with its quaint narrow streets, bridges, and inner courtyards. The tour concludes with a visit to the Gassan Diamond factory. Gassan diamonds are housed in the former home of the Boas diamond polishing factory, built in 1879. The factory is a very impressive building, and you will get to see how the diamond polishers turn a rough stone into a precious gem.

Amsterdam Home and Garden tour 3 hoursMonday, 27 October and Wednesday, 29 OctoberEUR 54 per personDiscover the hidden treasures behind the facades of Amsterdam’s most impressive houses.

Coffee with a syrup waffle will be served in the kitchen of the Geelvinck Hinlopen private home.

City Sightseeing tour of Amsterdam Including Visit to the Rijksmuseum4 hoursTuesday, 28 OctoberEUR 49.50 per personThe tour will include an extensive drive through the centre of Amsterdam and the modern suburbs and will feature some of Amsterdam’s most interesting monuments. You will then visit the National Museum of Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum, which has just reopened after a 10-year renovation. This world-famous museum holds the largest collection of paintings by the old Dutch masters, including Frans Hals, Jan Steen and Rembrandt. On display is Rembrandt’s famous painting, The Night Watch.

Flower Auction and Delft tour5 hoursTuesday, 28 OctoberEUR 56 per personThe first stop on this tour is the Aalsmeer, the centre of flower culture in the Netherlands.

You will take a leisurely walk through the beautiful old town along the canals and many almshouses, and visit The Royal Dutch Delftware factory De Porceleyne Fles.

Amsterdam has the buzz of a metropolis but few big-city drawbacks. It’s small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere you want. Gabled buildings, pretty bridges, and quiet canals give it village-like charm. Top-ranking art museums and one of the best orchestras in the world make it a contemporary destination. Enjoy this beautiful city even as you take in the superb conference experience that is ATCE.

To plan your Public Transport in Amsterdam please visit: http://en.gvb.nl/pages/home.aspx.

train: Trains are typically used for travel between different towns, but sometimes they are also the most efficient way to get from one side of Amsterdam to the other (ex: Central Station to Amsterdam Zuid). It is possible to use an OV-chipkaart on the train, but you must first request activation of this service and then add sufficient credit. Most visitors will find it more convenient to purchase tickets at the station from one of the ticket machines or ticket counters. You can also buy tickets on the NS website: http://www.ns.nl/en/travellers/home.

tram: Trams are ideal for short journeys around the city centre, as well as for travelling to other districts. Only one-hour disposable tickets can be purchased from the conductor. Other types of tickets can be purchased at GVB Tickets & Info offices or GVB ticket vending machines.

Metro: Amsterdam’s metro system radiates from Central Station to the city’s outer districts and is the fastest way to reach districts like the Bijlmer, Amstelveen, and Diemen. An OV-chipkaart cannot be purchased inside the metro. You must buy it in advance at a GVB Tickets & Info counter or from GVB ticket vending machines.

bus: Amsterdam’s extensive bus network will take you nearly anywhere you want to go. Just like the tram, only one-hour tickets can be purchased on board. Other types of tickets can be purchased at GVB Tickets and Info offices or GVB ticket vending machines.

Air France/KLM official Carrier for SPE AtCE 2014: Air France/KLM is the official carrier for SPE ATCE 2014 in Amsterdam. Visitors and exhibitors benefit from a 5 to 10% discount on a wide range of public fares in economy and business class. For more information please visit the website: www.klm-globalmeetings.com/?eid=21764AF.

Airport transport Services: Buses and trains: Train tickets for domestic travel are available from the yellow ticket machines near the platforms at Schiphol Plaza. Tickets (for domestic and international travel) are also available from the ticket offices, which are situated close to the red/white-checked cube at Schiphol Plaza. Staff at the ticket offices will also be able to provide you with train departure information.

You can also purchase your train ticket well in advance. You can either buy one from a ticket machine or ask for a ticket without a date at one of the NS service desks. It is possible to do so for both onward and return journeys. All you have to do on the day of travel is stamp your ticket at a machine on one of the platforms.

Trains run from Schiphol airport to the Amsterdam RAI and Amsterdam Centraal Station:

• Station Schiphol Platform 1–2 to Station Amsterdam RAI Platform 1 • Station Schiphol Platform 3 to Station Amsterdam Central

Platform 13b• Taxis: Taxis wait outside the arrivals hall at Schiphol Airport.• Car rental: Schiphol Airport has representatives from Avis, Budget,

Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, and National.
