    Multiphase Flow Metering at the Crossroads: Precision, Performance, and the Path to the Unconventional Frontier                
    This keynote fireside chat will be a moderated discussion on three key points: 
    - Unconventional developments: what fundamentally changed (transients/variability) and what the industry still tends to misunderstand
    - State-of-the-art in 2026: sensor fusion, physics-based modeling, and practical calibration/validation strategies
    - What’s next: MPFM evolving into a predictive/adaptive system with autonomous diagnostics and deeper digital integration
