The Technical Program Committee organizes the monthly SPE-WA Technical Evening meetings, held at the Parmelia Hilton. The Technical Evening presentations are SPE-WA’s flagship events and are presented each month by a range of local and international speakers covering a broad range of industry topics.
The SPE-WA Technical Evening meetings also encompass the SPE Distinguished Lecturer program whereby annually, approximately 30 global experts are selected to share their knowledge and expertise with SPE members via multiple worldwide speaking tours of local sections combined with online webinars.
The SPE-WA Technical Evening meetings also collaborate with other local professional energy societies to host joint meetings. Every year we will organize a season opening event in the third quarter to kick off the annual technical program with proactive engagement with our sponsors and major stakeholders, nominally with a high level industry speaker.
Upcoming Technical luncheons can be found in our events calendar.
