Arizona Tribune - The 26th Annual LDC Gas Forum Southeast Takes Place in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL April 8 - 10, 2026

The Program for this year's event is packed with relevant critical issues faced by natural gas and LNG market stakeholders across the value chain. A key theme throughout the Agenda is the reset of markets to support U.S. energy policy, as well as worldwide geopolitical events impacting U.S. and global natural gas and LNG markets. Another dominant theme is the industry response to the phenomenal projected increase in natural gas demand, largely from power generation required to feed AI data centers. Beyond these overarching themes, the Agenda also addresses issues unique to U.S. Southeast natural gas markets, including:

• Demand for reliable/non-intermittent electricity demand in the form of natural gas-fired power generation

• Gas/electric coordination challenges

• Expansion of natural gas midstream infrastructure (pipeline, storage, distribution) to support U.S. Southeast demand growth

• Impact of exports (LNG and Mexico) competing for supply from production regions traditionally serving U.S. Southeast markets

In addition, recurring LDC Gas Forum topics include market fundamentals (supply/demand), natural gas supply capabilities, midstream infrastructure project updates, end-use natural gas user perspectives, policy/regulatory/legal analysis, and technology innovations. All this against a backdrop of commercial operations involving producing, transporting, and buying natural gas.

The convergence of these market conditions translates into potential for volatility and the need for informed decisions on structuring commercial arrangements into the future.

The Program for the LDC Gas Forum Southeast consists of 2 ½ days of Presentations and moderated Panels providing topical content, insight analysis, and takeaways from industry leaders and subject matter experts.

Keynote addresses include: Lane Wilson, SVP & General Counsel, Williams; Tala Goudarzi, Partner, Torridon Group; Jessica Jensen, Region VP of Service Sales for Large Power Equipment,Siemens Energy and James Pearson, Sr. Analyst Gas Fundamentals, Conoco Phillips.
