Platts is proud to announce its 3rd Annual Gas Storage Outlook Conference, March 21-22, 2005 in Houston, TX. The event provides a forum for gas storage operators, pipeline operators, and gas customers to discuss the current dynamics of storage in North America. The conference focuses on what the expectations are for shifts in storage development due to high gas demand, price volatility, the influx of LNG, and regulatory uncertainty. You'll have the opportunity to question high-level panels of industry, legal and regulatory authorities as they debate the future course of storage.
