The opening sessions were followed by the presentation of the commemorative plaques to our alumni who had started their freshman year in 1994. The rest of the two day event was composed of technical presentations where some of the most important officials of the industry took part. The two day event ended with a boat trip on the Bosphorus and dinner where the graduates of spring 2023 were honored.

Overall, the 32nd ITU Petroleum and Natural Seminar and Exhibition has been a fruitful event where the current developments in upstream, midstream and downstream activities in oil, natural gas, and geothermal energy in Turkey and the world have been discussed.
