Join us at the Becht HF Alkylation Summit 2026, where technical and operations leaders come together to discuss the challenges of keeping HF alkylation units safe, reliable, efficient, and compliant.
The Summit begins with a welcome reception on Monday evening for informal networking and idea exchange. From there, the program moves into 2½ days dedicated to HF alkylation, including in-depth technical presentations, focused breakout sessions, open discussion, and time to engage with thoughtfully curated exhibitors.
Unlike larger industry events, the Summit is intentionally kept small so attendees can have meaningful conversations with peers and industry experts throughout the week. Interactive Q&A is built into each day of the program, creating plenty of opportunities to share experiences and learn from each other.
Expect practical takeaways you can put to work as soon as you’re back on site. If you want a clearer view of where HF alkylation is heading and how others are handling shifting standards and greater demands, you'll find it here.
The Becht HF Alkylation Summit program is built around the real questions and challenges facing alkylation teams today. Sessions are designed to encourage open dialog and ground conversations in firsthand operating experience, with a clear focus on what works in the field. This agenda will continue to evolve as we finalize speakers and incorporate emerging issues shaping HF alkylation.
