The global demand for natural gas is expected to increase by 46% before 2040, and therefore the Canadian natural gas industry has an opportunity to utilise its resource potential. Canada is estimated to have 1,100 trillion ft³ of natural gas potential (mainly due to technological advances in the recovery of natural gas) so the questions being asked are, "What are the most profitable ways to get this gas to market" and "Which are the new areas of market opportunity?"

Supported by the First Nations Limited Partnership (FNLP) and the First Nations LNG Alliance the Canada Gas & LNG exhibition conference (14-16 May 2018 – Vancouver) will give your company access to updates and discussions around ongoing and upcoming Canadian gas & LNG projects. It will be a one stop shop for companies looking to develop long-term relationships within the Canadian gas & LNG sectors.

For 6 consecutive years this event has been the catalyst for companies interested in furthering their business interests in Canada; linking them to the relevant decision makers in the sector.
