LNGgc Asia Pacific was one of the most varied, top quality LNG conferences and encompassed commercial, technical and strategic issues at a broad global level as well as the detailed local level. Themes for this year's conference included:
"Insightful and intelligent discussions about relevant topics in the industry today"
"I tremendously enjoyed myself, there were excellent contacts and very frank exchanges of views. LNGgc has a great speaker line-up and the organization was very professional and smooth. That the first day venue was too small was a measure of its success"
