NEW ORLEANS, May 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Due to the impact on traveling and in-person meetings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Louisiana Energy Conference (“LEC”) will be held 100% online at www.LouisianaEnergyConference.com. This year’s LEC will feature a series of 13 presentations and discussions on Wednesday, May 27 and Thursday, May 28 that will address key domestic and international oil and natural gas industry developments and topics.
There is no cost to participate this year but participants must register at www.LouisianaEnergyConference.com to join any of the sessions. After initial registration, to access each session, participants will only be asked to provide their email address. It is strongly suggested that participants register prior to May 27 to avoid any potential delays when registering during the days of the Conference.
Al Petrie, Senior Partner of Al Petrie Advisors commented, “We are pleased to welcome back many of our popular speakers from past years who will provide their views on the current state of the energy industry. We have added several new discussions we believe are particularly relevant in the current environment. This knowledgeable group of industry participants and advisors will accept questions online from registered participants during their respective presentations.
“Looking ahead to next year, we have already finalized the plans for our 2021 LEC which will be held at the Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans May 25 - 28, 2021, and hope you will mark your calendars to join us live and in-person then. Registration for 2021 will open later this year.”
