SUMMARY:Register Now for the Energy Conference Network Gas to Grid Infrastructure Summit 2026 – Sept 29 – Sept 30, 2026 – Houston, TX
DESCRIPTION:September 29–30, 2026\nNorris Conference Center Houston/CityCentre\nHouston, TX\n$200 DISCOUNT EXPIRES SEPTEMBER 11\nThe initial program for the Gas to Grid Infrastructure Summit 2026 is now live. Taking place over two days in Houston, the summit brings together the companies working to answer one of the industry’s most pressing questions: how can abundant natural gas be converted into reliable, scalable and cost-effective power for the growing demands of the AI era?\nDeveloped alongside ADI Analytics, the program examines the infrastructure, commercial and regulatory challenges standing between gas supply and the power required to support rapidly expanding data center demand.\nThe AI Power Crisis Is a Gas Infrastructure Problem\nAI data centers are creating unprecedented demand for electricity, while existing grid infrastructure cannot expand quickly enough in many markets. Gas supply, pipeline capacity, storage, interconnection, generation equipment and permitting are increasingly becoming critical factors in determining how quickly new power can come online.\nGas to Grid Infrastructure Summit 2026 brings utilities, midstream operators, data center developers, investors, regulators, OEMs, EPCs and technology providers together in Houston to examine practical pathways for delivering reliable, scalable, affordable and lower-carbon power.\nWhat to Expect\nDay 1: Demand, Deliverability & Commercial Models\nThe first day focuses on the growing demand for power, gas deliverability and the commercial structures needed to connect energy supply with new AI-driven load.\nDay 2: Storage, Permitting, LNG & Delivery Technology\nThe second day examines the infrastructure and technologies needed to move and store energy, including gas storage, permitting, LNG and emerging delivery solutions.\nWhy This Event, Why Now?\nData centers need more than power commitments—they need infrastructure capable of delivering that power on schedule. Site selection is increasingly tied to energy availability, while time to power has become a competitive advantage.\nGas supply, transmission access, interconnection queues, turbine availability, substation readiness, water use, emissions strategies and community acceptance are all influencing which projects can move forward.\nAcross two days, the summit will explore how North America can better align gas supply, power generation, grid planning, storage, transmission, behind-the-meter solutions and commercial risk allocation to meet rising electricity demand while maintaining reliability, affordability and long-term decarbonization goals.\nFeatured Speakers\n\nDino Caro — Senior Vice President, Retail Gas, Constellation Energy\nJason Connelly — Business Development Director, Williams\nJim Goetz — CEO, Trinity Gas Storage\nMike Goin — Vice President, Fuel Supply Operations, Entergy\nEdmund Knolle — President & CEO, Gulf Coast Midstream Partners, LLC\nKeith Shoemaker — Chief Commercial Officer, Coastal Bend LNG\nBalaji Srinivasan — Principal, Project Manager – Underground Storage, Boardwalk Pipelines\nSam Wallace — CCO, Caliche Midstream\n\nBenefits of Attending\nFor Utilities\nExamine how utilities are responding to data center load growth, large-load interconnection requests, grid upgrades and generation planning. Explore the evolving role of gas-fired generation, transmission expansion, demand forecasting, cost allocation and customer engagement.\nFor Data Center Developers & Operators\nUnderstand how energy availability is influencing site selection, project schedules and development risk. Connect with utilities, midstream operators, generators, OEMs and infrastructure partners involved in moving projects from concept toward energization.\nFor Infrastructure Providers\nConnect with organizations planning, financing and developing the next generation of AI-era power infrastructure. Showcase solutions involving turbines, compression, cooling, modular power, grid equipment, electrical systems, emissions reduction, CCS readiness, engineering, construction and project delivery.\nFor Midstream Operators\nExplore how gas infrastructure can support the growing AI power economy and examine commercial opportunities involving utilities, data center developers, power producers and investors, including firm transportation, storage, lateral development, on-site generation support and long-term fuel supply.\nFor Investors\nEvaluate gas-to-power, storage, transmission, generation and behind-the-meter projects based on their ability to overcome commercial, regulatory and delivery challenges. Gain insight into where infrastructure bottlenecks may create new opportunities for investment.\nJoin the Conversation\nBe part of the companies planning, building, financing and operating the infrastructure needed to support the next wave of AI-era power demand.\nSecure your place at the Gas to Grid Infrastructure Summit 2026 and take advantage of the $200 discount before September 11.\n
