In January 2009 around 130 delegates attended the first ever South American Industrial Gas Conference in Santiago, Chile. Two years later gasworld returned to the region for its seventh global conference to discuss and debate The Key Success Factors for Sustaining Growth.

The conference proved to be of interest to the whole of the gases community and beyond, with up to 150 delegates attending the event, held at the Windsor Barra Hotel in Rio de Janeiro.

The event again provided a forum for prominent speakers from all sectors of our community to present papers and discuss/debate/converse.
