Welcome to LNG Export North America 2026

North America's premier LNG Export event, now in its 4th year and recognized as the go-to destination for the teams shaping the future of LNG. This owner / operator-led event brings together project executives, engineering and finance leaders, and operational experts for two dynamic days of learning, deal-making, and industry collaboration.

Developed in close partnership with senior LNG project owners, our agenda tackles the real-world challenges facing developers and their partners at every stage: Financing, FEED, pre-FID, construction, commissioning, start-up, and ongoing operations. Whether launching a new project or optimizing an established facility, attendees gain vital knowledge, practical strategies, and valuable connections to drive performance and deliver results.

Connect with the full LNG project ecosystem—including developers, EPCs, offtakers, financiers, investors, licensors, OEMs, contractors, regulators, and solution providers.

Spotlight your brand and enhance your networking with sponsorship opportunities at the Energy Projects Show

The Energy Projects Show is the number one event for meeting engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) professionals, project developers, and owner/operators. Here's how you can make the most of the experience through sponsorship:

  • Showcase your technology in the exhibition: With 40% of the audience being owner/operators or engineering and construction EPCs, there's no better place to showcase your solutions!

  • Host a solution-led workshop: Share your expertise in an interactive workshop discussion with project leaders.

  • Deliver a case study: Complex engineering and construction projects need cutting-edge solutions — showcase a success story on how you delivered projects on time and on budget.

  • Unlock premium networking opportunities with the 1-1 meeting service: Our 1-2-1 meetings team will work with you to identify key engineering, construction, and project companies you'd like to meet from our attendee list. They will then work on your behalf to secure a series of face-to-face meetings onsite at the event (either at your booth or the dedicated meetings lounge). In 2025, the team set up 2,000+ individual meetings between exhibitors/sponsors and attendees.
