Top regional and international business leaders, government representatives and renowned influencers will discuss the evolution of the growing gas and LNG market at the Gastech 2018, to be held next month in Spain.

The event will take place on April 24 at the Fira Gran Via in Barcelona.

The one-day free to attend show, to be held at the same venue as the upcoming Gastech Exhibition and Conference, will allow global delegates to hear insights from major Spanish energy company Repsol; leading energy industry consultancy Wood Mackenzie; as well as key stakeholders and supporters KBR, Baker Botts, Gaztransport & Technigaz -GTT and Macquarie Bank, said a statement.

This second roadshow event will also be held in conjunction with the Gastech Governing Body’s conference programme voting meeting, at which it is expected that the full conference programme for Gastech 2018 will be confirmed and released. The roadshow will attract 150 attendees ahead of the Gastech Exhibition and Conference, which will be held in September.

The industry leading conference, which this year will share the same location with Global Power & Energy Exhibition (GPEX), the new hub for the international power and energy community, will see more than 1,200 ministers, government officials, presidents, CEOs, chairmen and managing directors among 3,500 global conference delegates.

Gavin Sutcliffe, Gastech’s governing body and programme director, said: “The previous roadshow in Madrid was a fantastic introduction to the key issues, topics and trends that we will be discussing at the event in September, and our Barcelona roadshow will build on that success. We’re especially excited that this second roadshow will be in the same venue where Gastech 2018 will be held in September,” he said.
