(August 23, 2019) — This year, the World LPG Association (WLPGA) and Liquid Gas Europe are joining together from

to bring the biggest LPG event in the world, the

, to Amsterdam. The LPG industry is always seeking to reach outside the industry to help inform others about the industry and the contribution it makes to our environment, and also to encourage others to look into the LPG sector as a potential to either grow outside businesses or to grow personal and professional networks.

Traveling the globe each year, this influential event combines not only a high-level conference and a major exhibition, but also a choice of dedicated smaller summits and dynamic side events that cover the entire industry. This year’s side events are The Global Technology Conference (GTC), the LPG for Development Summit (LPG4Dev), Autogas Day, the powerplays, and the snapshots, which take place in the exhibition area.

During the week of the Forum & Congress, delegates, exhibitors, sponsors, students, and visitors will be able to meet with key players in the LPG industry through networking opportunities, by attending the various sessions and presentations around the exhibition hall, or by visiting the exhibition.

If you have a personal or professional interest in the energy or environment sector, or even international relations and government policies, the Forum & Congress is the ideal place to learn how the LPG industry is striving to make the world healthier, cleaner, and more prosperous. Understand the roles and contributions of the various stakeholders from around the world and discover how LPG companies are striving for a sustainable energy future for all.

The industry is looking to reach beyond itself and to bring together outside influencers with international and local companies from around the Netherlands.

During the event, the three theme-focused side events will take place. You can witness the latest technologies and innovations entering the industry during the GTC, understand the developments the LPG industry is making for clean cooking in countries across the globe in the LPG4Dev Summit, or take half a day to learn how autogas is making an impact on the local and global markets during the Autogas Day.

The industry’s 12th Global Technology Conference will take place on Tuesday, September 24. Launched by WLPGA in 2006, GTC is an integral part of the annual World LPG Forum and the only global conference dedicated to technology and innovation in the LPG industry. In order to show their commitment to technological advances in the field, the Conference will showcase successful marketing and implementation of these new technologies, equipment, and ideas from around the world.

The third LPG for Development Summit, co-organized with the Global LPG Partnership, will also take place on September 24. The Summit will focus on the contribution of clean cooking fuels to sustainable development

Cooking with clean fuels is an important item on the LPG agenda. This year’s focus will be on the role of LPG in improving health outcomes, in accordance with World Health Organization Guidelines for Emissions Reductions for Health, as well as their contribution to several Sustainable Development Goals and national development targets.

The first international edition of the Autogas Day will take place on Friday, September 27, highlighting the opportunities for autogas at a global level. In 2018, the Dutch association, VVG/Platform Autogas, organized the first Autogas Day edition in the Netherlands focusing on market situations, technology, and innovation.

In the challenging environment for autogas recognition in the Netherlands, a team including 52 conversion centers and several LPG-filling stations reached out to decision makers, media outlets, fleet managers, car dealers, leasing companies, corporate customers, students, and general consumers to maximize its impact.

Its success will now be shared among other countries worldwide seeing as autogas is high on the agenda for the first international Autogas Day. This will provide an exceptional opportunity to hear and share the latest autogas innovations, market situations, experiences, as well as networking opportunities.
