The IGU Coordination Committee is delighted to announce the Call for Papers is now open for submissions for the world’s most prestigious global gas event, the 28th World Gas Conference (WGC 2021). The event will take place in Daegu, Korea on 21-25 June 2021
The Call for Papers presents an opportunity for industry leaders worldwide to be part of the four-day conference program and to submit a Call for Paper Abstract to showcase their expertise on a vast range of topics and speak in front of the global WGC 2021 audience.
Held under the patronage of the International Gas Union (IGU), WGC 2021 continues to thrive with the tremendous support from Korean Government, Daegu Metropolitan City, the National Organising Committee, hosted by the Korea Gas Union and host partner KOGAS. The event already has exceptional participation by confirming over 21 global energy industry leaders as keynote speakers.
WGC 2021 will embark on a journey to discuss A Sustainable Future Powered by Gas and promote the role of natural gas in a sustainable future. The program will also look at tackling critical issues such as meeting the increasing global energy demand by improving accessibility and availability, enhancing affordability while lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality.
“We look forward to presenting another high-value WGC event and encourage submissions from experts representing a wide range of topics and perspectives across the global gas industry to shape the global energy agenda and advance the role of natural gas in the sustainable future,” said Bong Kyu Park, Chairman of the National Organising Committee for WGC 2021. “The World Gas Conference takes it to the next level for interested speakers by providing the perfect opportunity to speak in front of the Asian gas market and beyond. We look forward to receiving submissions.”
The WGC 2021 program mainly consists of Plenary, Current Debates, Industry Insights and Technology & Innovation sessions.
