What is the European Gas Conference?
The European Gas Conference (EGC) is the most important, geopolitical discussion in the midstream gas calendar.

- Increasing number of projects reaching FID and LNG supply arriving to Europe
- LNG trading in a commoditised market
- Putting gas on the map post-Madrid Forum: Bridging relationships between the industry and European Commission
