• 100+ exhibitors from 30 countries "explore tomorrow's global energy"
Doha, Qatar - Qatar's biggest ever natural gas exhibition and conference, the 7th Doha Natural Gas Conference & Exhibition (DNGCE) jointly organized by Qatar Expo in association with Qatar Petroleum, is guaranteed to once again break records as the exhibition begins today (Monday 9 March) at the Doha Exhibition Center.
Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., the 4-day DNGCE exhibition was officially opened by H.E Abdulla Bin Hamad Al Attiyah, Deputy Prime Minister of Qatar and Minister of Energy and Industry, who welcomed a record 110 exhibitors from more than 30 countries. It is expected more than 12,000 visitors - the crème de la crème of the global natural gas industry - will have attended before DNGCE finishes on Thursday evening, 12th March.
"I am delighted that, once again, the 7th DNGCE exhibition has proved immensely popular with leading global energy companies. All the key players in the global natural gas industry will be present: Qatar Petroleum, Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Dolphin Energy and Total to name just a few," commented Karim Zarka, Qatar Expo Acting CEO.
7th DNGCE is expected to live up to its reputation as the event "where the world meets to explore tomorrow's energy' as the global Natural Gas community meets to find the solutions required to keep up with an accelerating technology race, and understand the demands of a changing industry committed to ensuring security of supply in an increasingly complex world.
"We also expect a number of exhibitors will be making special announcements during this week's event and we expect to hear some really exciting news in the Internet and Media Center sponsored by Dolphin Energy," advises DNGCE Exhibition Projects Department Manager Georges Saliba.
DNGCE was first launched in 2001 and since then, the exhibition has grown considerably, gaining a reputation as the region's top international natural gas event and attracting existing and major new exhibitors such as Qatar's largest Islamic bank - QIB - the official DNGCE Strategic Banker Partner.
"We are seeking to play a leading role in providing innovative Islamic financial solutions for Qatar's oil and gas industry projects within the framework of the giant projects the State is implementing," says QIB CEO, Mr. Salah Jaidah.
The DNGCE Exhibition's reputation as the leading natural gas event in the region has ensured every inch of the Doha Exhibition Center's 15,000 square metres - another record for DNGCE - is once more sold out, eagerly snapped up by energy companies and suppliers keen to rub shoulders with the industry's elite.
