HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Gastech, the leading global conference and exhibition of the
international gas, LNG and energy industries, today announced its
preliminary program for the 2019 conference taking place at NRG Center
in Houston September 17-19. Gastech 2019 includes three days of panel
discussions and presentations from the industry’s key global leaders,
addressing current gas and LNG issues while also looking to 2020 and
beyond.

“For the first time in nearly two decades, Gastech is returning to
Houston, the epicenter of the global energy industry and at a time when
the U.S. is cementing its position as a global leader in the export of
natural gas,” said Director of the Gastech Governing Body Gavin
Sutcliffe. “Gastech has been held around the globe for over 45 years and
remains one of the strongest and most informative programs to date.”

“The program will provide insights from government officials and

questions around topics such as a new wave of financial investments
driving market buoyancy, increased demand and growing the
commoditization of natural gas,” said Sutcliffe.

and panels with 400 speakers, a Plenary Conference, Strategic and
