The Westin Hotel | Jersey City, United States

Conference: 3-4 December 2026
Training: 1-2 December 2026

 

Bringing together the most influential voices across the Pan American Base Oils and Lubricants industry!

 

Thank you for attending the 19th ICIS Pan American Base Oils and Lubricants Conference in Jersey City. This year, we navigated another pivotal moment for the American base oils and lubricants market amid economic, political, and regulatory uncertainty, shifting global trade dynamics, and the continued move from near-shoring to re-shoring.

We explored the key developments shaping the industry: the slowdown in EV uptake, the accelerating transition from Group II to Group III and III+ base stocks, and the growing pressure on producers and blenders to meet evolving OEM specifications and tighter performance standards. These forces are redefining product strategies and supply dynamics across both automotive and industrial markets.

Thank you for contributing to the discussions and connections that made this conference such a valuable gathering for producers, blenders, traders, and end-users across the Americas.

We look forward to welcoming you back for next year’s Pan American Conference on 3–4 December 2026.
