LatAm’s biggest commercial crude oil event and meeting place

Latin America’s leading commercial crude conference returns to Rio de Janeiro on 18–20 May 2026, bringing together senior producers, traders, refiners, ports, shippers and financiers from across the region and global markets.

Join industry leaders including ExxonMobil, Aramco Americas, Trafigura, Vitol, Glencore, Repsol Sinopec Brasil, Karoon Energy and BTG Pactual, who are already confirmed to attend — and be part of the conversation shaping the future of crude markets.

With Brazil’s FPSO rollout accelerating, Argentina moving toward VLCC enablement, Guyana expanding output and Asian buyers reshaping trade flows, the region’s crude system is undergoing major structural change.

The Argus Rio Crude Conference helps the market make sense of these shifts, giving senior leaders the clarity and connections needed for high‑value commercial discussions and deal preparation. This is where Latin America’s crude market is analysed, priced and connected.

Book by Friday 17 April to save $300 with the final reduced rate!
