European gas prices have started to bounce back from their record lows in May, which were triggered by the global gas glut and coronavirus-induced weak demand, but the price recovery remains under threat from sky-high gas stocks and the risk of LNG coming back strongly into the European market in the coming months.

At a critical time for our sector, join us for our first European Gas & LNG virtual conference to better understand the current state of the market and how long we will be on the road to recovery? 
  
Topic Areas:
- Review the current state of the Gas & LNG markets from renowned speakers
- Understand how long it will take to recover from COVID-19 and the consequences?
- Assess how the energy transition will transform the role of gas – is there a place for gas in a net zero world?
- Hear insight from market leaders on what they are doing to prepare for the steady decarbonisation of energy.
