Tony Salemme, Industrial Info's Vice President - Craft Labor Group, will speak at Petrochemical Update's Downstream 2018 Conference and Exhibition this week in Galveston, Texas.

The conference will take place May 31-June 1. Salemme said he will be speaking on project labor supply imbalances and rising costs in the Gulf Coast region.

"We have an 'oil-to-gas ratio,' which is at historically high levels, indicating that downstream markets should experience high levels of spend and man hours," Salemme said.

Salemme will speak at 2:55 pm on Friday, June 1.

According to Petrochemical Update, the meeting at the Galveston Island Convention Center is the largest gathering of petrochemical, refining and liquefied natural gas (LNG) decision makers globally, and is an annual must-attend for more than 2,000 owner-operators and vendors worldwide. Industrial Info is a sponsor of the event.
