The event is a regional extension of the long-running Gastech Conference & Exhibition, and will be the first dedicated Asian LNG & natural gas conference within the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) to address the security and supply of gas. The event also looks to develop the region's gas infrastructure and projects.

In addition to key discussions around fuelling the demand for gas in Asia and regulatory issues affecting foreign exports, GAS also aims to facilitate relations between international producers, financiers, regional governments and stakeholders in order to develop Asia's LNG and natural gas industry through infrastructure development, project finance and delivery.
The 5th Annual SIEW 2012 is the foremost platform for policymakers, energy practitioners and commentators to discuss energy issues, strategies and solutions. For 2012, the EMA has incorporated GAS as part of the annual SIEW programme line-up, to reflect the increasingly important role that gas plays in Asia's growing energy mix.

Mark Carr, President of dmg :: event's Global Energy Division, adds: "The Gastech team are delighted to bring the Gas Asia Summit to Singapore International Energy Week. Increasing energy demand driven by the rising economic growth in Asia, coupled with technological advances and shifts in the gas supply and demand landscape, is generating enormous opportunities and challenges. GAS will provide a forum for the gas industry to find ways to overcome the challenges and capture the opportunities in this sector."
