Very Informative.” Dennis Taylor, Business Representative, IBEW1547The past year has been a challenging one for the oil and gas industry that is still feeling the effects of the financial downturn. However, Alaska’s future oil and gas potential shines bright. Alaska is recognized as having the largest single source of oil and likely the second largest supplies of natural gas of all Arctic nations. This translates into HUGE growth opportunities for your business. As we move into open season for the proposed Alaska Gas Pipelines, the renewed interest in heavy oil development on the North Slope and a heightened concern over in-state supply issues is creating a sense of urgency for exploration, production and infrastructure. For six years American Conference Institute has been researching directly with the industry, polling the experts, and building relationships with key regional and national industry associations and as a result the Alaska Oil & Gas Congress has established itself as THE leading event for both networking and learning for the oil and gas sectors, drawing both local and international attendees.Year over year the Alaska Oil & Gas Congress continues to deliver the critical information you need to refine your business strategy in an ever changing environment. Attend the 6th annual congress, and make the vital connections you need to take advantage of the new opportunities that exist for you. Everyone is mobilizing. This is a year you don’t want to miss• Governor Sean Parnell will deliver a keynote on securing Alaska’s energy future• Get significant Alaska Gas Pipeline Project updates straight from the source • Delve deep into crucial issues like in-state supply, infrastructure and logistics, and people and the environment, through focused themed tracks• Government and State officials share pertinent updates and information that will help you overcome challenges and identify opportunities for energy development • Drue Pearce, former Federal Coordinator, Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Projects provides an “unbiased insider” perspective on pipeline proposals, obstacles and potential solutions • Learn about incentives aimed at revitalizing investment in the state and what they mean for youJoin us in September to get the information you need to stay on top of the issues, make decisions and meet the key players.
