Gas Today — May 2008

The study tour provides an opportunity for selected employees in the Australian gas industry to:
- Increase their knowledge of the industry through visits to overseas natural gas and related organisations.
- Assist in maintaining communications and a flow of knowledge between appropriate overseas organisations and the Australian gas industry.
- Broaden their outlook experiencing different cultures and touring with other Australians from different parts of the industry.
Gas Speak 2008
AGIT will conduct the Gas Speak Colloquium for 2008 at Old Parliament House, Canberra from Monday 22 September to Wednesday 24 September 2008.
Gas Speak’s objective is to encourage an awareness and knowledge of the gas industry in Australia by providing a forum for young people from all sectors of the Australian gas industry to present papers, chair sessions, conduct syndicate discussions and develop the art of self expression and communication.
This event continues the tradition of successful Australian Gas Association Gas Speak Conferences held since 1982. As a highly respected educational event, companies should encourage young up-and-coming staff members to apply.
