    Canadian Gas Dialogues 2020

Notice:  The Government of Alberta has been implementing a phased relaunch strategy with respect to the pandemic. We are currently in Stage 2 of the relaunch strategy. Larger conferences, trade shows and events such as Canadian Gas Dialogues, are restricted until Stage 3.   

Accordingly, Canadian Gas Dialogues has been moved to an online format. Our plan is to commence a series of webinars on each of the announced topics commencing September 21st. These webinars will also be recorded and available exclusively to delegates for viewing at their convenience. 

This page will be updated regularly with full details of the new agenda. In case of need you can contact us at rsvp@naturalgasworld.com. Thank you for your understanding.
