The meeting place for the global LNG industry

The World LNG Summit & Awards is the established meeting place for the most senior LNG, gas and renewable fuels leaders from across the global value chain to define the critical role LNG, gas and renewable fuels will play in delivering energy security, economic stability, and decarbonisation commitments.

The conference serves as a catalyst to explore the latest developments in geopolitics and energy security, the decarbonisation of LNG and the globally traded LNG market. LNG’s continued evolution aligns with the World LNG Summit’s vision of achieving the balance between energy security and decarbonisation.
