A Legacy of Turnaround Solutions That Work
For over two decades, the Shutdowns Turnarounds Superconference has brought together owner/operators and expert vendors to exchange practical strategies and proven lessons learned. Now, the same trusted format and peer-driven discussions that keep STO leaders returning year after year are coming to Houston.
On next June in Houston, you’ll join owner/operators, EPCs, contractors, and solution providers to benchmark approaches, compare playbooks, and walk away with tactics you can apply on your very next turnaround.
Guided by Real STO Expertise
Composed of turnaround, maintenance, and reliability experts, our Advisory Board guides program direction by validating themes, refining session focus, and ensuring the content reflects real-world STO challenges. Their insight keeps the Houston program practical, relevant, and aligned with what matters most on the ground.
