Shared location for Gastech and GPEX Gastech, an exhibition and conference for the international gas, LNG and energy industries, and GPEX (Global Power & Energy Exhibition), the new hub for the international power and energy community, will share the same location in Barcelona, Spain, later this year.

The co-location of the events, which will be held in adjoining halls in the Fira Gran Via from 17 to 20 September, supports the public-private drive towards a lower carbon environment, with the synergies between the two creating further opportunities for exhibitors, delegates and visitors. Gastech is a place for upstream, midstream and downstream gas and LNG professionals to convene and do business, and for more than 45 years has been at the forefront of the international gas and LNG markets.

Gastech has a tradition of being the place where gas conversations are made, and the co-location of GPEX with Gastech facilitates an extension of that important energy transition debate. “Holding both events at the same location will allow 30,000 global energy professionals to access both Gastech and GPEX. This will bring together the gas and power communities who form the central core of the energy transition.” A call for papers is underway for both events, and industry professionals who are interested in speaking at the
