The North American Crude & Hazardous Liquids by Rail Safety Congress will be held at:

GRAND BALLROOM - Sheraton Brookhollow Hotel3000 N Loop West Freeway - Houston TX 77092

Phone: (713) 688 0100

Web: www.sheratonbrookhollow.com

Venue Information:

With 6 derailments of crude carrying unit trains this year, it is now more important than ever for the supply chain to work together in investigating and improving rail safety for class 3 flammable liquids. Recent regulations have left the industry with questions and concerns for the future of rail takeaway and for that reason the Crude & Hazardous Liquids By Rail Safety Congress has been engineered to answer and inform the supply chain on what is required, what to expect and what costs are involved.

With a multi-stakeholder approach, the summit willclarify regulatory expectations, investigate the

safety benefits of new technologies andprocesses, determine the best practices for

emergency response and remediation in the result of an incident as well as calculate

future costs involved in rail shipping for these products. Hear from leading

experts in their field to ensure compliance, mitigate possible risks and analyze the longevity

of future investments in this mode of takeaway.
