They say all roads lead to Rome...
well, all pipelines lead to Louisiana

The LNG industry is so important - not only in our state, not only in the US, but globally. Louisiana is open for business and, across the world, anyone who knows the LNG sector knows that this is the place to be.

The Americas LNG Summit & Exhibition is a great opportunity to showcase to the world the wonderful work that the LNG industry is doing - creating jobs and economic opportunity across America, and supplying secure and affordable energy to our neighbours and allies. Here in Louisiana, we're proud of the role that we're playing to keep this industry on an upward trajectory.

If you're a producer or a buyer of LNG; if you're looking for cutting edge technologies and solutions; if you're focused on upstream, midstream or downstream operations, this is the event for you.

I look forward to seeing you all in Lake Charles, here in the great state of Louisiana, October 13-15, 2026.

Governor Jeff Landry

57th Governor, State of Louisiana
