TECHNICAL CONFERENCE
Naturgas Congress invites you and your organisation to apply to speak at the 2025 technical conference and share your expertise with our audience of 2000 local, regional and international energy professionals and decision makers.
The Steering Committee is in the Process of Reviewing the Abstracts
The Naturgas Congress Technical Conference welcomes a two-day programme of technical excellence delivered through a “Call for Abstracts” campaign and an expert steering committee.
Naturgas Congress invites you and your organisation to apply to speak at the 2025 technical conference and share your expertise with our audience of 2000 local, regional and international energy professionals. It provides unparalleled exposure to the Tier 1 operators and project developers shaping the energy landscape across Colombia, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as national and regional government & policymaking heads.
The Naturgas Congress Call for Abstracts is open to the entire natural gas value chain, welcoming applications from candidates with a diverse background and broad experience. Technical conference speakers will be specialists in the fields of technology, innovation, data, process engineering, project and programme management, product management, and research.
Speak at Colombia’s leading international gas event
