Eventure Events - STO 2008: Shutdowns, Turnarounds and Outages Conference Offers Companies a Chance to Improve Effectiveness and Reduce Cost

INDIANAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
This June, companies from asset-intensive industries in North
America and beyond will unite at STO 2008, the most comprehensive
program in the world for organizations that conduct shutdowns,
turnarounds, and outages (STO). This second annual event is scheduled
to take place June 1-4, 2008, at the Westin Indianapolis in Indiana.

STO 2008 offers a premiere environment for professionals to come
together and share ideas, strategies, experiences, and tips and tricks
with hundreds of others in the STO arena. Dozens of thought leaders
and subject matter experts will be on hand to clearly illustrate the
steps required to improve shutdown efficiency and effectiveness.

"The STO 2008 conference provides an excellent opportunity to
improve your organization," said Tim Stovall, Corporate Reliability
Manager for NOVA Chemicals. "Consider your average shutdown,
turnaround or outage spending for the next 10 years, and then consider
the customer driven content of STO 2008. The value of STO is the
shared learning's and a networking community which will improve your
effectiveness and reduce costs. When it is all said and done,
improving stockholder or owner value is what we are about, and the
Eventure STO conference will help you create that value."

This conference offers a comprehensive, two-day program focused on
best management practices for planning, strategy, and execution. The
schedule includes three tracks of presenters each day, providing
delegates with exceptional breadth and depth of content. Also offered
is a full day of intensive, subject specific workshops covering key
areas including Maintenance KPI's and Performance, Plant Reliability,
Turnaround Performance and Capital and STO Planning & Scheduling.

"With so many resources committed to one single event, the risk
organizations face with STO processes is enormous. We have created an
amazing opportunity for STO professionals to explore best practice
strategies that will show them firsthand how to reduce cost, create a
safer work environment and generate a huge return on their STO
investment," said Steve Sinkoff, president and CEO of Eventure Events.

Registration for STO 2008 closes on May 23, 2008. For more
