LNG continues to deliver pragmatic, reliable and more efficient energy to meet the world’s growing energy demands. It has a significant role in today’s energy mix and as a bridging fuel, it presents the unique opportunity for lower emissions, enhanced market resilience, and reduced reliance on coal.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the World LNG Summit & Awards is the meeting place for the most senior energy leaders from across the global value chain to define the role of LNG and natural gas in delivering energy security, economic stability, and decarbonisation commitments. During the four-day summit, discussions will cover the impact of geopolitical trends and disruptions, the evolving global LNG market, energy security and expansion, and decarbonisation.
LNG’s continued evolution aligns with the World LNG Summit’s vision of accelerating the energy transition whilst ensuring a balanced energy landscape.
World LNG Summit & Awards 2025 will be hosted in Istanbul – a natural bridge between East and West. Istanbul’s strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia connects key energy markets, making it an ideal hub for global LNG discussions. As a vibrant city with rich cultural and economic significance, it embodies the intersection of diverse energy landscapes, fostering collaboration and innovation.
The Summit in Istanbul reflects the region’s growing influence in the global energy sector, promoting dialogue, partnerships, and solutions for the future of LNG.
In 2000, the inaugural World LNG Summit & Awards was held in London, and has continued to bring together the who’s who of the global LNG industry each year. Since its first edition, the event has moved around several countries providing the opportunity to reflect the global LNG market dynamics of supply and demand, with host cities including Barcelona, Rome, Paris, Lisbon, Athens, Berlin and this year’s newly introduced location of Istanbul.
With the growing importance of LNG in achieving the balance between energy security and decarbonisation, the World LNG Summit & Awards is firmly established as the end of year gathering for the global LNG industry. Each year, the Summit gathers energy leaders from across the world to shape the agenda for the coming year as well as to celebrate excellence in our industry at the world-renowned World LNG Awards.
The World LNG Summit & Awards remains true to its origins with a strong emphasis on high-value conference content overseen by an executive committee of leading industry experts. In addition, networking has always been at the heart of the event, bringing together thousands of energy leaders over the years to build, develop and strengthen partnerships with established and emerging stakeholders from across the global value chain.
We would like to thank our partners and attendees for their ongoing support and participation over the past 25 years. We invite you all to join our 25th anniversary celebrations this year in Istanbul and look forward to seeing you there.
