Submitting an abstract is straightforward: we only require a short 500-word description of your proposed paper. The guidelines below will help you craft the perfect application:

INTEREST

• Will the topic be of interest to the Gastech audience and the energy industry?

• Will it capture the imagination of the audience and will it offer useful updates, progress or new information?

ORIGINALITY

• Is the abstract relevant to the Gastech audience or to the industry now?

• Will it demonstrate the latest attitudes in thinking, innovation or delivery?

TOPICALITY

• Does the abstract offer a new angle or dimension to the chosen topic?

Is this new and original material that has not been shared at other conferences?

• Does it demonstrate new and innovative updates or advances that are not yet widely known?

• Is your abstract research- or editorial-led as opposed to a sales pitch of your product or company

CATEGORY

• Use the category and sub-category listing to indicate the theme that best describes the abstract.

• A primary choice is required. If you believe your abstract is relevant to more than one category, submit it under the single category or best fit.

STATISTICS

• Graphs, diagrams, illustrations and/or tables should be used to enhance the Governing Body’s understanding of the abstract

• Captions and any necessary contextual information to understand the data will not count towards the word limit.

PRESENTER

• Abstracts must be accompanied by a presenter profile

Governing Body assessments

The Gastech Governing Body assesses each eligible application against a specific criterion to produce an overall mark.

A meeting of the Governing Body will be convened in April 2025 to review the results of this process.

Who is the Gastech Governing Body?

The Governing Body is a 50-member committee focused on ensuring the conference supports research of the highest standards. Individuals who serve on the committee must complete an application for selection to ensure the appropriate balance of knowledge, skills, experience, diversity, and independence of the Governing Body is maintained.

The Gastech Governing Body is made up of a senior, select group of professionals spanning the full gas, LNG, hydrogen, and energy supply chain. The heritage of some members goes back 40 years. Speakers featuring in the technical and commercial conferences are selected by the Gastech Governing Body on the basis of abstracts submitted in response to the present Call for papers.

What happens if my abstract is successful?

If your abstract is accepted by the Governing Body, you will be contacted shortly after the Final Selection Meeting and invited to speak at the Gastech Technical & Commercial Conference.

Upon acceptance, you will be invited to prepare a presentation alongside a written paper (papers are required by Technical Conference presenters only).

Your presentation will be scheduled and publicised across our event collateral and social media channels.

What happens if my abstract is not selected?

If your abstract is not selected for the conference, you will be notified at the same time as applicants whose papers have been accepted.

Those whose abstracts are not selected will be placed on a shortlist in case a selected applicant declines their position.

What are the benefits of becoming a speaker?

Successful submissions will be invited to develop the abstract into a presentation and paper to be presented on the world stage during Gastech2025 in Milan.

Lead presenters receive a complimentary strategic conference delegate pass, providing them with full access to the event. Co-authors can benefit from passes offered at a preferential rate.

Gain visibility through your speaker profile on the event website, marketing and interview opportunities, and inclusion in the conference literature.

Furthermore, all accepted papers will be published in full on Energy Connects, a media platform owned by dmg events.

Are there any costs involved in the process to become a speaker?

There are no costs for submitting an application to speak at Gastech. Lead presenters will receive a complimentary delegate pass; however, any additional co-authors or co-speakers will need to purchase a pass at a preferential rate.

Gastech does not cover travel, accommodation, subsistence, or any other costs associated with participation.

Are co-presenters allowed?

We recommend one presenter, but allow up to 2 co-presenters. When you submit your abstract we will ask you to nominate a lead presenter who will receive a complimentary strategic delegate pass if the abstract is selected.

Once your abstract has been selected, our team will assist you in registering a second co-presenter for a pass at a preferential rate.
