Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the Fracking and our Gas Future 2013 Conference to be held from the 15-17th July, 2013 at the Swissotel in Sydney.
This premium level event is targeted at high level decision makers from all sectors of the gas industry looking at the growing concerns surrounding the development of Australia’s unconventional gas resources.
The event will be meticulously researched and heavily content led ensuring it attracts real decision makers from companies that are always on the lookout for solutions to their problems.
This provides you with the opportunity to promote your company as well as showcase methods, technologies or equipment solutions to targeted buyers from gas producers, suppliers and end users.
This event is the next in our series of highly successful energy events, the first three being ‘Eastern Australia’s Energy Markets 2012-25’ held in October, 2012, ‘Australia’s Domestic Gas Outlook 2013’ held in April which SOLD OUT, and ‘Power Pricing 2013’, set to take place at the end of May 2013.
Sponsorship packages can be tailored to suit your needs or you can opt for one of our “off the shelf” packages. Either way you can be sure of receiving exceptional value for money.
About the Fracking and our Gas Future 2013 ConferenceGrowing concerns surrounding the development of Australia’s unconventional gas resources are leading to significant community and policy reactions that have wide ranging implications for a range of stakeholders. Addressing these concerns in a productive and inclusive manner is important for all concerned to ensure that an outcome in the national interest is achieved.
Fracking and our Gas Future will analyse the latest scientific research focused on all aspects of natural gas development, provide insight from international experiences, highlight the key concerns in the development process and constructively discuss options to alleviate these concerns.
Advocates and opponents of further gas development are utilising the media, exerting pressure on governments and the issue is quickly becoming central to both state and federal politics. Despite this, there has been very little opportunity for all stakeholders to come together and address the issue. The time to address this subject in a more constructive way is now.
