Critical Developments in European Energy Markets To Be Covered At This Unique Gas And Power Conference Include:

Sparks & Flames is the ONE gas and power event to focus on critical developments in the Gas, Power, Climate Change & Emissions Markets in Europe. Over 220 gas and power professionals attended last year’s conference in Amsterdam  and this year we are expecting even more as we move the event to the first week of the 2008 – 2009 gas year.

Now in its 14th year, Sparks & Flames 2008 is evolving to match the changing environment of the European gas and power markets. Afternoons of the conference will be spent in a series of Industry Hubs where delegates are invited to join in discussions, alongside speakers on key issues such as 'Do We Need A Trans-European Gas Regulator?', 'What Is The Optimal Future Fuel Mix?' and 'Are We In A Seller's Market Facing A Shortage Of Gas?'
