Tackling Your Toughest Challenges Across Every Major Project

Check out the industry curated questions we will be addressing across our individual project tracks 

  • Financial Strategy & Execution Reality – How can CFOs and project owners align financial strategy, capital structure, and risk management with the realities of LNG megaproject execution?
  • Policy, ESG & Bankability – What does today’s LNG policy, ESG, and pricing environment mean for getting US projects bankable and through investment committees?
  • Offtaker Requirements & Seller Credibility – How are offtaker priorities changing, and what must US sellers show – contract terms, transparency, carbon profile – to be viewed as bankable partners?
  • Financing in a Flexible-Contract World – How can sponsors and lenders structure financing when contracts are shorter, more flexible, or partially merchant without undermining debt service?
  • Mobilizing Global & Emerging-Market Capital – How can project owners tap global and emerging‑market capital – sovereign, ECA, multilateral – to expand demand and close financing gaps?

  • Contracting Models & Partnerships – How should contracting and partnership models evolve so owners and EPCs share risk fairly while still getting LNG projects sanctioned and built on time?
  • Governance for Megaprojects – How can owner and EPC teams structure and govern complex LNG megaprojects so interfaces, scope splits, and JVs do not derail schedule or budget?
  • Modularization Decisions – When and where does modularization truly reduce cost, schedule, and labour risk for LNG and when does it just add complexity for project teams?
  • Nitrogen & Feedgas Challenges – How do owners and EPCs bake feedgas quality, nitrogen handling, and permitting uncertainty into design basis, technology selection, and commercial strategy from day one?
  • Supply Chain & Long-Lead Equipment – How can project owners and EPCs lock in critical equipment and supply chain capacity early enough to protect the critical path in a volatile market.

  • Reliability Leadership & Culture – How can asset and operations leaders build a reliability culture and operating model that keeps a growing LNG portfolio online and performing to plan?
  • Maintenance & Turnaround Strategy – What maintenance and turnaround strategies, tools, and organizational structures actually maximize uptime and safety while controlling O&M spend?
  • Standardizing Operations – How can operators standardize procedures, training, and technologies across terminals without ignoring local constraints and regulatory nuances?
  • Commissioning & Handover Models – Which commissioning, start‑up, and handover model best protects long‑term operability and how involved should the owner’s team be alongside the EPC?
  • Aftermarket & OEM Strategy – How should owners shape aftermarket and OEM strategies to guarantee spares, service, and technical support over the full LNG asset lifecycle?

     

  • Meeting AI/Data Center Load – How can project owners, utilities, and EPCs move fast enough to meet AI and data center load without losing control of risk, cost, or reliability?
  • Behind-the-Meter Models – What should a behind‑the‑meter model look like so data centers get firm power while local ratepayers and communities stay protected?
  • Design, Modularization & Digital – Which design standards, modularization approaches, and digital tools actually accelerate gas power delivery and interconnection for sponsors and EPCs?
  • Grid Access & New Capacity – How can developers and utilities secure grid access and new capacity quickly in constrained markets and congested queues?
  • FEED, Siting & Partnerships – How should FEED, site selection, and partnership strategy change to deliver multiple data‑center‑driven power projects in parallel?

  • Becoming a Nuclear Powerhouse – What must utilities, EPCs, OEMs, and policymakers do differently for the US to become a genuine nuclear build powerhouse within the next 3–5 years?
  • Regulatory Reform & Timelines – Which specific regulatory and permitting changes will actually shorten timelines and reduce uncertainty for nuclear project sponsors and builders?
  • Design, Standardization & SMRs – How should design choices, standardization, and SMR concepts reshape nuclear project delivery, construction risk, and supply chain strategy?
  • Contractual Risk Allocation – How should risk be allocated across utilities, EPCs, OEMs, and investors under today’s contract norms so projects are deliverable and still financeable?
  • Funding FOAK & Early Projects – What funding and bankability models - credits, guarantees, new offtake structures - will unlock FOAK and early commercial nuclear projects?

 

  • Capital Allocation Under Pressure – How should owners and project leaders direct scarce capital across integration, decarbonisation, and new products to stay profitable and competitive?
  • Projects to Performance Link – How can project and operations teams tie capital project delivery directly to long‑term unit performance, not just hitting mechanical completion?
  • Digital Tools That Truly Deliver – Which digital tools and data capabilities are truly improving cost, reliability, and decision‑making and which can project teams safely deprioritize?
  • Integrating Projects, Ops & Turnarounds – How can operators better integrate projects, operations, and turnarounds so outages become levers for reliability and margin, not sources of friction?
  • SAF & Alternative Fuels Strategy – What role should SAF and alternative fuels play in the portfolio, and how should offtake and project strategies be structured to reach FID?

 

  • Permitting & Policy Impact – How will permitting and policy actually change the speed and certainty of my next midstream project?
  • Strategy for the Next Demand Wave – How should midstream growth strategy evolve as LNG, power, and downstream demand surge?
  • Designing for Long-Term Integrity – What do we need to change in design and execution to deliver higher‑integrity, future‑ready systems?
  • Capturing CO₂, Hydrogen & Water Upside – How can we position for the buildout of CO₂, hydrogen, and water infrastructure as the next growth engines?
  • Safety, Trust & Social Licence – How do we strengthen safety, community trust, and stakeholder support while accelerating projects?

High-impact Meetings, not Random Chats

1-2-1 Meeting Service 

The 1‑2‑1 meeting service is designed to make your two days onsite as productive as possible as an EPC or contractor. Instead of leaving conversations to chance, our team will work with you in advance to pinpoint the project owners, operators, OEMs and technology partners that align with your live bids, active projects and target pipeline.

Ahead of the event, you’ll share your priorities, scopes and target categories, and we’ll then arrange a series of pre-booked, face-to-face meetings for you on-site – either in the dedicated meetings lounge or at exhibitor booths. You arrive with a curated schedule of high-value conversations focused on unlocking new work, filling capability gaps and strengthening delivery partnerships.

The service has already facilitated thousands of meetings between EPCs, owners and solution providers, ensuring you spend time only where it counts – with senior decision-makers and technical leaders who can move opportunities forward. The 1‑2‑1 meeting service is completely free for EPCs and contractors to use, helping you maximise ROI on every hour you spend out of the office.
