Among the growing list of keynote speakers are CEOs of international energy companies, global gas experts, distinguished energy officials, policy makers and government representatives from across the globe.
The theme for WGC 2018 is "Fueling the Future" and it communicates the important future role for natural gas as a critical source of energy that is clean, abundant, economical and sustainable.
“We are excited and pleased that so many CEOs and influential leaders from the global gas industry have already committed to speak at WGC 2018. Their experience and leadership in the international gas market will allow for critical and insightful discussions at the 27th World Gas Conference." commented Jay Copan, Executive Director, WGC 2018. "WGC 2018 will be the culmination of our three-year USA Presidency of the International Gas Union (IGU) and will reflect the focus we have had during this triennium to raise the global voice of gas. Having WGC 2018 in Washington D.C., provides a unique opportunity for industry leaders and global policy makers to meet together and discuss and debate the future role for natural gas.”
