Posted: 10 November 2004
DMG World Media has acquired Gastech and the European Autumn Gas Conference (EAGC) from Turret Rai plc. Both the 19th EAGC, taking place from 9-10 November 2004 at Fira Palace Hotel in Barcelona, and the 21st Gastech show, 14-17 March 2005 in Bilbao, will be managed by the existing management team including Richard Hease Chairman Turret Group Ltd, Tony Stephenson Gastech Event Director, Lynne Evans Conference Director and Jo Tyler, Marketing Manager. Following Gastech 2005, full management of both shows will be transferred to dmg world media's Business Media International division based in its Redhill office.
"The acquisition of Gastech and the EAGC could not have come at a more ideal time", said Ian Stokes, Executive Vice President, Business Media International, dmg world media. "We have recently restructured our B2B Division combining activities on both sides of the Atlantic under a single banner- Business Media International. This will allow us to capitalize on synergies between our existing oil and gas products (based out of Calgary, Canada) and future acquisitions such as this. We are thrilled to add Gastech and EAGC to our portfolio."
Gastech, a biennial event, is the largest international event to serve the LNG, LPG and Natural Gas industries. The exhibition is supported by a top-level conference covering a wide range of issues with speakers including government ministers, the Secretary General of OPEC and CEOs and presidents from the most influential companies in the commercial and technical gas world.
