On November 3rd, the Dominican Republic will become the epicenter of the Caribbean fuel industry with the celebration of the First Caribbean Service Station Summit, an event that will bring together the main public and private actors in the sector to analyze the challenges, opportunities, and trends that will shape the future of the business.
The Summit, organized by EH+ Energía e Hidrocarburos and Surtidores LATAM, will be held at the Renaissance Santo Domingo Jaragua Hotel and will have the institutional support of the National Association of Gasoline Retailers (ANADEGAS), an organization that represents service station operators in the Dominican Republic and will play a fundamental role in the development of the meeting.
The event will bring together representatives from oil companies, government authorities, regulators, distributors, service station operators, equipment manufacturers, technology companies, and national and international specialists, becoming the main space for knowledge exchange and business opportunity generation for the region.
The initiative seeks to replicate the successful model of the Service Station Summit that has been held in Argentina for several years, adapting it to the reality of the Caribbean, a region undergoing a transformation process driven by new investments, regulatory changes, technological innovation, and the evolution of consumer habits.
