Makuhari Messe International Convention Center

Makuhari Messe International Convention Center, site of the 2017 Gastech Conference & Exhibition, Japan.

Japanese and international industry leaders will examine the critical role of gas and LNG for Japan’s future energy security at Gastech Japan 2017 in Tokyo.

The Gastech Conference & Exhibition, Japan will be held 4–7 April 2017 in Chiba/Tokyo. This is the largest and most important business and technology event for the gas and LNG sector, creating a global platform to address and discuss the latest challenges faced in Asia and on a wider international scale.

Gastech moves to Japan for the first time and is being hosted by The Japan Gastech Consortium, which is made up of 10 of Japan’s leading energy companies, including: JERA; Mitsubishi Corporation; Mitsui & Co.; Tokyo Gas; INPEX; ITOCHU Corporation; JAPEX; JX Group—ENEOS; Marubeni Corporation; and Sumitomo Corporation.

Bringing the international energy ecosystem to the world’s number one consumer of LNG and leading global technology hub is an exciting and unique opportunity for the gas market. Japan’s future energy security is a matter of national priority, and the challenging decisions regarding the fuels the country chooses are essential. The need to reengage and renegotiate major long-term LNG and gas contracts over the next few years will help Japanese customers drive better value and flexibility in the future.

While Japan has its own energy challenges and future to decide, the Gastech Conference & Exhibition will provide the international gas market with the perfect backdrop to discuss wider commercial and technical energy issues, such as energy security, risk management, technological advancements, joint venture collaboration, the latest technologies, investments, succession planning, contracting, project financing, management and many more business critical issues that will help advance and set the path for greater gas advocacy.

The event’s multi-faceted program will cater to the full energy eco-system’s needs, from C-level and government, marketing and trading, to engineers, operations and asset teams. The Conference, Gas Leaders’ Summit, VIP Programme, LNG Procurement Forum, Women In Energy, Youth Programmes and the newly expanded Technical Programme—combined with the Exhibition and multiple business networking events—present a vital opportunity to gather with industry leaders and colleagues to learn, exchange ideas and collaborate.

Following Gastech’s official launch in Tokyo, the demand to participate from leading energy organizations has been unprecedented. The 10 Japan Gastech Consortium Companies are being joined by renowned IOCs;

NOCs; governments; legal, banking and financial institutions; marketing and trading organizations; EPCs; shipping and technology companies; trade bodies and associations; and many more.

The organizers of Gastech 2017 can’t wait to welcome you to this must-attend event.
