About the Gulf Coast Energy Forum
What: The Gulf Coast Energy Forum is a new event brought to you by the producers of the very successful LDC Gas Forum and US-Mexico Natural Gas Forum series.
The U.S. Gulf Coast has emerged as the crossroads for global LNG activity. The U.S. Gulf Coast and the Henry Hub benchmark is no longer simply a supply source – it is now the premium demand pricing point for the continent. As a result, there is worldwide interest in the dynamics of this particular region, across the entire natural gas value chain, supporting LNG.
This event responds to the industry’s demand for a purpose-built venue for industry players to learn, obtain insight, network and conduct business across the entire natural gas value chain supporting global LNG activity.
Forum topics include:
- Global LNG Market fundamentals (supply, demand, transport, price)
- Natural gas supply sources for LNG
- Global LNG market assessments and competing domestic U.S. markets
- Infrastructure inventory and developments (liquefaction facilities and supporting pipelines)
- Identification of key players: facility operators, suppliers, markets, investors
- Regulatory considerations
- Sales and purchase agreements anatomy and trends in commercial transactions and operations
Who: As with each of the other events in the Forum series, the entire natural gas value chain is represented, including LNG facility operators, LNG transporters, marketers, producers, pipelines, LDCs/Utilities, end users, regulators, policy makers, market analysts, and key service providers.
Why: Networking is at the heart of this Forum. Multiple opportunities are arranged for you to meet and engage with people through our scheduled networking activities, and before/after/in-between sessions. Meeting key operator representatives, thought leaders, analysts and prospective customers is easy!
Insight is valuable takeaway. Obtain valuable and unique insights from the newsmakers and leaders of the industry. But it’s not just talking heads. Obtain answers to your questions. Learn from your colleagues questions. Follow-up by meeting one-on-one with Presenters. Collect the presentations afterwards.

How we differentiate from other LNG Forums:
- The Gulf Coast Energy Forum is all about commercial operations spanning the entire LNG value chain – from feedstock supply through transportation to identification of global end use markets. The Gulf Coast Energy Forum program/speakers and Gulf Coast Energy Forum attendees are directly involved in commercial operations – dealmakers responsible for maximizing returns for their stakeholders. Hear from the experts who are actually making it happen; network with existing and prospective counterparties.
- The Gulf Coast Energy Forum is strategically located in the center of the universe for global LNG activity – the U.S. Gulf Coast. Dealmakers attending who represent producers, pipelines, LNG export terminal operators, marketers, and global end use markets appreciate the critical significance of this location.
