It is my great pleasure to invite you to our 21st World LP Gas Forum – the premier global LP Gas conference and exhibition. For many years, LP Gas has played a valuable role in meeting the world’s energy needs. In the future, LP Gas has the opportunity to enhance this role by also helping combat global climate change. Our theme and conference content this year demonstrates this perfectly: “LP Gas – clean energy for a low carbon world”.

LP Gas enjoys a substantial and thriving market in Korea, which has the world’s largest automotive fuel market. Thus, this year we selected Seoul, Korea to host our event. This dynamic capital city is a bustling international hub - home to large global corporations and strategically located close to Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai. Seoul is a city which offers all the amenities one needs to do business successfully in Asia. Korea itself is intriguing in its diversity of attractions. Visitors have the opportunity to experience a thriving modern culture based on ancient traditions with magnificent historic and natural sites. The venue chosen in Seoul this year is the COEX, which offers world-class facilities for conventions and exhibitions. This ultramodern complex also offers deluxe lodging, shopping and cultural activities.

The Forum always draws key international agencies, policy makers, and the highest level of industry leaders to explore the future of our industry, discuss its growth potential, and forge new business relationships. In addition to our regular two days, the forum this year will also host the Global Technology Conference, which will add a full day onto the Forum’s two days. This special day will be dedicated to groundbreaking new technology and innovation in our business.

The World LP Gas Forum exhibition is the only event worldwide where you can visit a host of key companies from every spectrum of the LP Gas business exhibiting under one roof. Situated adjacent to our conference room, it is an ideal location to meet with the senior international and regional LP Gas community. This unique venue is visited by hundreds of visitors as well as conference delegates.

Elegant social events have been organised this year to emulate the Korean culture and our Members’ Dinner is no exception. It will be held at the internationally renowned Korea House, a traditional venue that features Korean cuisine and entertainment. Our Annual Gala Dinner will be held in the elegant Grand Intercontinental Seoul Ballroom.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank warmly the Korea LPG Association, as well as other members of the National Organising Committee in Korea, for their valuable contribution to the organisation of this forum in all its facets. We are especially grateful for the contribution of our sponsors from all over the globe for enabling us to offer such a high quality event.

Dynamic speakers and chairmen are lined up for this conference to debate and discuss all pertinent LP Gas topics. With lively debates and discussions, exciting social events, a unique exhibition and a focus on protecting our world today through the use of clean LP Gas, our conference is an event you should not miss!

See you in Seoul from 24th – 26th September.

Lon Greenberg
President of the World LP Gas Association
