The World Gas Exhibition (WGE) is taking place simultaneously with the WGC. It demonstrates the cutting-edge technologies and products of the energy and associated sectors.

The International Gas Union is a non-governmental and non-commercial organization, which is a major centre of the gas industry for the analysis and promotion of its world-wide experience.

The Council is the main ruling body of the IGU and meets at least once a year. Each IGU charter member is represented in the Council by one delegate.

Russia has been a member of the IGU since 1957. Gazprom is a charter member of the IGU representing Russia.
