The U.S. Mid-Continent region continues to be one of the most dynamic natural gas markets in the U.S. The region historically has been a significant demand location for natural gas, and a major crossroads for natural gas transported across the continent. The U.S. shale revolution has dramatically changed the paradigm, causing a re-plumbing of traditional transportation routes. As a result, the Mid-Continent market is in significant transition with changing sources of supply, transportation routes, evolving market participants and commercial implications.
The Mid-Continent LDC Gas Forum is the flagship of the LDC Gas Forum, Gulf Coast Energy Forum and US-Mexico Gas Forum series that consists of six annual events each focused on the key natural gas market regions across North America. These events are much more than simply conferences in that in addition to gathering insights on critical issues affecting natural gas markets, participants also meet with industry counterparts to complete business transactions. Participants at the Forum include market leaders, decision makers and subject matter experts, representing all industry segments including utilities, industrial gas consumers, producers, pipelines, marketers, key product and service providers, as well as regulators and analysts.
Even in today's digital age, natural gas market participants appreciate a venue that facilitates face-to-face interaction. The LDC Gas Forum is uniquely structured to meet this requirement and has been the venue of choice for decades. Registration is still available at http://www.ldcgasforums.com/mc/
