From 21-23 September, the Gastech
Exhibition & Conference will take place
in Dubai, UAE as the first major energy
event to be held live and in person in 2021.
Gastech was originally set to take place in
Singapore in mid-September; however, recent
COVID-19 outbreaks across Southeast
Asia have created uncertainty around
accessibility and travel, prompting the
decision in early June to move the conference
and exhibition to Dubai.
Gastech was last held in person in
Houston, Texas in September 2019
(FIG. 1) and was converted to an online
event in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2021 event, to be held at the
Dubai World Trade Center, will welcome
an expected 25,000-plus attendees and
2,500 delegates from more than 100 countries,
as well as 400 exhibiting companies.
As the global gas and LNG industry
looks toward the future, it must navigate
the new energy landscape with a shared
mandate to lower carbon emissions and
provide affordable energy. Gastech 2021
will bring together the full energy value
chain, with industry giants reconvening
in a week of much-anticipated networking
to share thought-provoking energy strategies,
showcase unique innovations and reinforce
bilateral trade relations.
In light of COVID-19 precautions,
dmg events is working closely with all
stakeholders and local partners to ensure
that enhanced health and safety measures
are in place to deliver a safe and secure environment
for the event. More information
on these measures is available at the
event website.
Gastech Conference. The conference
portion of Gastech will encompass 55
strategic and 29 technical sessions. It will
host more than 300 high-level speakers
including government ministers, company
leaders, heads of industry organizations
and other top leaders in the energy,
policy, gas and LNG sectors.

the key issues and most promising opportunities
for the gas, LNG and hydrogen
sectors in the fourth industrial age.
Technology innovation is occurring at an
unprecedented pace and presents a significant
advantage to those who embrace it.
The energy industry can streamline business
models and improve processes by
embracing advanced digital technologies
such as AI, IIoT, big data and analytics.
Conference presentations will set the
tone for the future direction of the global
gas and LNG industry in the post-COVID
context, as the industry seeks to strike a
balance between business priorities and
the social license to operate. Impactful
topics to be addressed include technology
innovation, supply and demand dynamics,
evolving partnerships, people and talent,
and governance.
A number of high-level strategic conference
sessions will be available this year to
all attending delegates to enable conversations
to take place to drive the global energy
transition. Additionally, the open technical
conference will address a number
of topics including shipping, small-scale
LNG, bunkering, hydrogen, upstream, gas
processing, AI and energy end users.
New for 2021: Gastech Hydrogen.
In line with the growing global energy
transition, new at Gastech this year is the
co-located Gastech Hydrogen event. Gastech
Hydrogen is dedicated to positioning
hydrogen as the clean energy solution
by connecting policymakers, producers,
consumers, scientists and suppliers to facilitate
market development.
Key themes to be covered at the Gastech
Hydrogen Conference include the
harmonization of standards, key growth
areas, demand creation, transmission and
distribution, hydrogen use in transportation,
