The first Exhibitor Briefing Day for the 19th International Conference & Exhibition on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG2019) was held at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Centre (SWEECC) in China on 19 October 2017
Participants included representatives from the International Gas Union (IGU), Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, Shanghai Municipal Housing Construction Committee, US Consulate General and many others.
Attendees were provided with an overview of what to expect at the conference and exhibition which takes place 1-5 April 2019 in Shanghai. It will be the world’s largest LNG event ever held with 11,000 attendees expected from 550 organisations worldwide.
Last week’s event also included a Press Conference, where members of the media were invited to ask questions to the speakers and the organisers – CWC Group from London, ETF from Australia and ITPC from Shanghai. Attendees included media representatives from publications including Xinhua News Agency, Upstream and ICIS Anderson.
The Press Conference was hosted by Professor Lin Wensheng, a member of the National Organising Committee and the Programme Committee of LNG2019. The Deputy General Manager of Shenergy Group Co. Ltd, Mr. Wang Zhehong gave the opening remarks, followed by an address from Rodney Cox, Event Director for the International Gas Union. In addition, the Chairman of the National Organising Committee Professor Gu, explained how "belt and road policy" related to LNG development in China. Following the Press Conference, the Chinese and international exhibitors were taken on a walk-through of the LNG2019 exhibition hall at the SWEECC.
The day proved to be very informative and anticipation and excitement is clearly building for LNG2019.
The natural gas industry strives to play an important role in the rising global demand for reliable and cleaner sources of energy and LNG2019 aims to highlight and discuss how the industry can adapt to the changing landscape and play a major role in creating a sustainable energy future. The triennial event is proudly supported by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government and hosted by the China LNG Association, China Gas Society, The Chinese Association of Refrigeration and the China Gas Association.
