IBP’s secretary-general, Cristina Pinho, will be the Chair of the Organizing Committee of the edition, replacing Hugo Repsold, who stepped aside for personal reasons. 

Migrating to “phygital”

Throughout 2021, the platform will continue promoting activities and, in the second semester, the digital experience of Rio Oil & Gas will be complemented by a four-day physical event, in Rio de Janeiro, with complete infrastructure, including studios for online transmissions and content creation, as well as coworking spaces.

In this occasion, Carlos Tadeu Fraga, CEO of Prumo, will take the position of Chair of the Organizing Committee, with Cristina Pinho as co-Chair.
