12th EFRC Conference 2021

12th EFRC Conference, August 24 - 26, 2021 Warsaw, Poland

The EFRC Conference is a unique opportunity for managers, sales, engineers and researchers to share and receive up-to-date information on the latest technology, and for exchanging knowledge and experience with international specialists.

“This conference is a platform for the exchange of ideas, experience and information. It is where people gather and are open to share experiences so that new ideas can grow,” said René Peters, Chairman of the EFRC. “The EFRC stimulates collaboration between suppliers, manufacturers and end-users because we believe that in collaboration, innovation can take place. Only when we do not accept the environment in which we find ourselves then successful change and innovation can be realized.”

The safety of our participants is our top priority. We are constantly monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, as the situation is changing every day and it is impossible to know what will be happening in upcoming months and also we understand that organizations may have certain safety policies which can reduce or ban travelling of their employees. This why we adopted our cancellation regulations to meet our participants needs. Vaccination programs across Europe seem to be having a positive effect on companies – there is great confidence and optimism also within the EFRC.

Despite these challenging times the authors, reviewers, and conference sponsors are working hard to make attractive papers and presentations giving insights into new developments supporting increased reliability and output of reciprocating compressors while reducing the carbon footprint and saving on CAPEX and OPEX.

Since 1999, the European Forum of Reciprocating Compressors e.V. (EFRC) encourages exchange of information related to reciprocating compressors and drives research as well as improvements in specifications and standards.

We are very looking forward to welcoming you at the 12. EFRC Conference in August 24-26, 2021 in the Hilton Warsaw Hotel and Convention Centre, in Poland.

Booth allocation*

The EFRC Task Force will decide on the final booth allocation. The sponsors of the 12th EFRC Conference are entitled to the first pick of event booths, which means that their selection will be given first consideration.

For the assignment of the booths, the following approach was established:

If the same booth is selected by more than one company and both companies are sponsors, the first company to register will be assigned the booth; if there is another tie with another sponsor for 2nd choice, this rule is applied until a clear spot has been determined.
If the same booth is selected by more than one company and one is a sponsor and the other a non-sponsor, the booth will be assigned to the sponsor regardless of chronological sequence*. (*this applies within the regular registration period)
If the same booth is selected by more than one company and both companies are non-sponsors, the first company to register will be assigned the booth.

All companies will be placed fair-minded under consideration of the mentioned preferences.
