Please note: This Forum is Free to attend
We are delighted to announce that Platts is hosting a LNG Forum, which will be taking place on Tuesday 6 July, 2010 at the The Westin Palace, Madrid, Spain.
This half day complimentary Forum is essential to attend if you are involved in the LNG markets. Over the course of just a few hours, you will learn about the latest developments in LNG trading in Europe, LNG trading in Asia and its effect on European markets.
This Forum aims to promote to those already familiar and those new to Platts our methodologies – which are essential tools to those aligned or working in the global LNG markets. This Forum is also an excellent opportunity to hear presentations from Platts LNG editors, and to be involved in discussions around a range of topics currently affecting the LNG markets.
