Summit Testimonials

“This is where much of the commercial leadership of the LNG industry comes together to spend meaningful time in a small group setting. As a result, it holds a very unique place in the annual conference calendar and certainly helps push the LNG agenda forward.“

De la Rey Venter, CEO, MidOcean Energy

“This Summit is especially important because it brings together the entire LNG industry: familiar faces and new ones, established players and emerging businesses, as well as new technologies coming on stream. It is truly the right place to be and plays an important role for both BGN and the industry as a whole.”

Maria Eugenia Suardiaz, Co-Head of LNG, BGN

“For the decade-plus that we have been part of this event, it has really been my favourite event of the year. It is focused on just the LNG industry, and with its year-end timing, it provides a great opportunity to come together with colleagues and friends, discuss the year’s business activities, and wrap up a number of conversations before heading into the next year, which brings its own challenges. It is an event we look forward to every year.”

Anatol Feygin, EVP & CCO, Cheniere Energy, Inc.

“I’ve been attending this event for the past 20 years, and what I have always appreciated is that it is a year-end gathering, and intimate enough, yet big enough to attract the right people. It allows for easy bilateral discussions and provides the chance to reconnect with people you haven’t seen throughout the year.”

Suryan Wirya-Simunovic, Managing Executive Officer, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines

“I love this conference. It allows you to meet a lot of people, talk about important issues, and it really wraps up the end of every single LNG year, as we can start talking about our achievements and what we want to focus on in the next year.”

“This conference is not just a gathering of people; it enhances relationships. It serves as a catalyst for professionals to come together, with senior leaders arriving ready to engage in open discussions and, importantly, to do deals.”

Gonzalo Cabrera, Founder & CEO, WaveTransition

“The World LNG Summit is an amazing event. It brings senior leaders together to take stock of the past year and to discuss major topics such as decarbonisation, the value chain, finding new ways of making sure risks are managed properly in the industry - that it has to be a win-win for buyers and sellers. It is a perfect forum for bringing people together to address these important issues.”

Ralf Dickgreber, Head of Global LNG & Biomass, ENGIE

“Attending World LNG Summit & Awards is very useful for our business development strategic planning.”

Agustinus Hendrayana, President Director, PT Energasindo Heksa Karya

“Each year, the World LNG Summit & Awards brings the LNG industry and its people together, fostering good discussions and a positive atmosphere. I enjoy it greatly – meeting new people and seeing old friends. For me, it is a tremendous event.”

Marcel Tijhuis, Senior Project Manager Business Development LNG, German LNG Terminal

“I think the way that this event matters is that it brings a lot of people together from different parts of the industry – producers, consumers, policymakers, and more - to discuss the issues that matter most right now. Holding this conference in Türkiye right now is particularly important because of developments in the global LNG industry and of rearranging gas markets, let’s say, to deal with geopolitical issues. It is a terrific conference and is very timely in its location this year.”

Samantha Gross, Director – Energy Security and Climate Initiative, Brookings Institution
