Conferences are an important tool in disseminating information and expertise related to NGVs. IANGV holds its own conference and exhibition every two years.  This is a very well attended event regardless of where in the world it is held.  There are however many other conferences organized by many different groups.  Sometimes they are specialized workshops.  Others are regional or local conferences designed to make people aware of NGV industry opportunities in a particular locality. 

Since all these events contribute to the development of the NGV industry, IANGV has decided that it will endorse conferences and workshops subject to the organizers meeting certain criteria related to program and timing and also the reputation of the organizers in relation to managing events.

Endorsement by IANGV will help the conference organizers to attract delegates.  The larger the number of delegates, the wider the dissemination of the content of the conference or workshop and hence the greater benefit to the wider NGV industry.

The first event to be endorsed by IANGV is a workshop on cylinders being organized by Cleanfuels Consulting on CNG and H2 Cylinders : Challenges, Opportunities & Strategies in Brussels 11 and 12 March 2008  www.cngandh2workshop.com . 

Conference organizers are invited to seek endorsement by IANGV.  A paper on the benefits and requirements is available from Garth Harris at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

We look forward to being able to endorse many conferences all around the world.
