gasworld is in the process of planning the 2016 South East Asia Industrial Gas Conference. Taking place from 8th – 10th November, 2016 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok, gasworld will be heading to Thailand for what will be our 17th Global Industrial Gas Conference.
gasworld conferences last visited the Asia-Pacific region in November 2014, when around 250 industrial gas professionals gathered at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore to discuss and debate the opportunities for growth.
