Michael Heckman, President and CEO of Houston First Corporation, said: “Gastech is a global event that draws tens of thousands of attendees and millions of dollars in economic impact to its host city, and we are incredibly excited to have in Houston.
The conversation around the future of the energy industry is a different one today than it was just five years ago when Gastech was last here. We believe the role Houston is playing in leading the energy transition to a low carbon future makes this an ideal place to host this important global event and we look forward to expanding on the success we had in 2019 when Gastech returns next year.”
Simon Ford, VP, dmg events, said: “We are delighted to look ahead to next year, to another continent, another show, to make Gastech24 even greater.
This week Gastech has enjoyed wonderful success working side by side with our partners in Singapore, to create one of the largest and most senior level shows in our rich history.
The next host city for Gastech 2024 will be Houston, Texas. There is no better location to take Gastech next than the energy capital of the world.”
Jeffrey Siow, Managing Director and COO, Enterprise Singapore, said: “Gastech is one of the largest trading shows in the world. This year, the theme – shaping the future of energy – highlighted the transformation of the energy sector and our global journey towards a sustainable economy.
Over the past two days, there have been sessions on the future of LNG, emergence of sustainable LNG products and decarbonized future. I hope all of you here enjoyed the conference and that you also had the opportunity to experience Singapore and what our global city has to offer, as the industry’s gateway to Asia and as one of the world’s most important energy trading hubs.”
Commissioner Rodney Ellis, Houston City Council, said: “We are delighted to have Gastech back in Houston. I would be remiss if I didn’t say to my friends at Enterprise Singapore that you have done a wonderful job, with a wonderful venue and a great city. Houston used to be known as an oil and gas capital.
But we realised early on that it was important to be the energy capital. On behalf of everyone in the city of Houston, we want you to know that everything really is bigger in Texas. Singapore has set a high bar, but we are going to raise the bar even higher in Houston – it will be a great conference.”

Energy has been the foundation of what the city of Houston has stood for. We have in Houston over 300 energy companies today and they will welcome you to our city.”
