ConferenzaGNL and ExpoGNL 2017, the double event on the Small Scale LNG to be held in Naples, May 10 -11, is proud to announce the patronage of Greek Energy Forum (GEF), an international think tank on energy promoting the dialogue between industry, academia and institutions for a sustainable energy future for Greece, South-eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. With its branch offices in London, Brussels, Athens, Nicosia, Dubai and Washington DC, the GEF operates internationally and contributes to the relevant discussions for the development of regional energy markets with particular reference to the role of natural gas after COP21 Paris and COP22 Marrakech. GEF has defined ConferenzaGNL “the most significant biannual event on small-scale LNG in the Euro Mediterranean Region, and the relevance of this event in 2017 is even more prominent given the global LNG market dynamics, as well as the pace and scale of the Small Scale LNG industry growth”. The patronage of GEF and the historic partnership with WEC Italy, the Italian Committee of the World Energy Council, confirm the international vocation of the 4th ConferenzaGNL and its effective contribution to the development of the direct uses of LNG in the Mediterranean area.  Associations, national and international companies that will support the initiative will have a great opportunity of networking and visibility in the whole Euro-Mediterranean area.
