As is customary in IGU’s Conferences, a luncheon will be organised every day, to provide a break from the intensive activities of both the Conference and exhibition, as well as an opportunity to network with colleagues from the global gas community.

There is an additional charge should delegates wish to attend the luncheons. Please check the cost in the registration section of the Preliminary Programme. You will be able to register from 1 February, 2009. Luncheons will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

These luncheons are hosted by the following companies, who will introduce the speaker appointed for each event:

	Tuesday 6 October, 12.00 – 13.30 Speaker: Rune Bjørnson, Executive Vice President, STATOILHYDRO
	Wednesday 7 October, 12.00 – 13.30 Speaker: Didier Houssin Directorate of Energy Markets & Security INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY (IEA)

	Friday 9 October, 12.00 – 13.30 Speaker: Claudi Santiago, CEO, GE Oil & Gas

The luncheons will take place at El Central restaurant, a distinguished, historical building, conveniently located within the premises of La Rural, where the conference will be held.
