ExCeL London | UK
Welcome We are delighted to be hosting the 26th edition of the Gastech conference and exhibition in London 2012. As one of the world’s most significant gas events, we look forward to welcoming all of the industry’s key players and decision-makers for a four-day event that promises to deliver significant business opportunities and networking at the highest level. Sir Frank Chapman, BG Group, Chief Executive
Now celebrating its 39th year, Gastech continues to serve the commercial and technical gas industry by encouraging growth, innovation and thoughtprovoking discussion. We are pleased to welcome our new hosts BG Group and are delighted to be bringing the event to ExCeL London. The UK has a proud history of delivering engineering and technical excellence and is widely considered the global hub for project finance and trading. One of Europe’s principal LNG consumers and one of a handful of countries with the experience, skill base and technological prowess to do so, the UK provides reliability on a world-class scale. The event and the LNG and natural gas marketplace have changed immeasurably since the first Gastech. We pay homage to this today with a broader content base than ever before - drilling even deeper into key issues, reporting on new developments and projects and sharing insights and knowledge. The exhibition floor is incredibly diverse and the new Centres of Technical Excellence (CoTEs) will deliver specialist engineers a new experience and depth of understanding about industry innovation. Over 300 exhibitors will then provide the products and services to match. I am also delighted to announce the launch of ignite!, an exciting new event running alongside Gastech dedicated to personal training and growth, recruitment and workforce development. In the conference our Governing Body and co-chairs Chris Clucas and Paul Sullivan will steer us towards another compelling independent programme bringing together business leaders from around the world. Powerfully supported by our VIP programme, Gastech 2012 is set to be another huge success and we looking forward to welcoming you to London in autumn of next year.
