The discussions in each session were moderated by experts from BCG.



An important highlight of the programme was an online poll survey conducted live with the participants which revealed interesting results on several questions of vital importance concerning the industry.



Over the two days, the Young Professionals Forum proved hugely successful in providing forward looking and engaging sessions for the young executives in the oil and gas industry. To keep the audience invested in the panel discussions, the moderators frequently asked questions raised by the audience to the esteemed speakers.
