The World Gas Conference (WGC) is one of the three flagship exhibitions hosted by the International Gas Union (IGU), held every three years. It is a premier event in the global gas industry. The conference first debuted in London in 1931 and has successfully held 28 editions to date. The 29th World Gas Conference (WGC2025) will be hosted in China from May 19 to May 23, 2025, at the Beijing National Convention Center Phase II. We anticipate over 3,500 representatives, including thought leaders, industry giants, and innovation pioneers from the gas and energy sectors, as well as over 30,000 visitors, will converge under the theme "Empowering a Sustainable Future" to share insights, explore collaboration opportunities, and co-create the future of the industry. Under the leadership of the current IGU President, Ms. Li Yalan, IGU is working on a "Three-Year Work Plan" aimed at promoting the advantages of the gas industry through global outreach initiatives.
