The natural gas revolution is changing the energy landscape. In the Middle East, gas consumption is predicted to grow by about 5% per annum, similar to China and twice as fast as in the major European economies. By 2015, total consumption in the region will have almost caught up with consumption in the major European economies. The region has over 40% of the world's proven gas reserves, with scope for new discoveries, but as domestic demand is growing, it still needs to address the shortages it faces.

Designed for senior executives tasked to keep the region’s and the world’s population moving, heated and cooled and to cater to the region’s rising economies relying on natural gas to meet power generation, industrial and domestic needs, MENA Gas Distribution Summit is a very high-level gathering of the entire ecosystem of the gas distribution community of the Middle East and North African region, and will be the key event that will gather the regional and international community, address industry challenges and issues, highlight investment and development opportunities, and discuss game-changing technologies and strategies.
