The first Meeting of the Advisory Board took place during the World Gas Conference in Washington DC in June, where members discussed the strategic plan for the development of the 2018 LGC conference in Mexico. Members are able to directly contribute to strategies to strengthen the development of natural gas in the region, as well as speaking, presenting and networking at the October conference in Mexico.
The Latin America & Caribbean Gas Conference & Exhibition (LGC) will take place from 9-11 October 2018 in Mexico City in partnership with IGU and ARPEL. The event is designed to give a coherent voice for Gas in Latin America and the Caribbean across the entire gas value chain.
