ABOUT
The Cedigaz Seminar is an annual, invitation-only high-level meeting to promote knowledge exchange among our members.
The energy markets are transforming rapidly with far reaching impacts on the natural gas sector and its actors. Though companies are being forced to rethink traditional business models, the energy transition also offers huge opportunities for the gas industry.
The Cedigaz Seminar is a unique opportunity to meet with peers from top notch companies and organisations, and candidly exchange ideas on emerging issues of critical importance for the industry in a productive, closed-door environment. The Seminar will feature exclusive presentations, off-the-record discussions and ample networking to support you and your organisation in tackling our new energy future.
Attendance to the Seminar is for Cedigaz members only. If you would like to find out about becoming a member please contact geoffroy.hureau@ifpen.fr
