GASTECH 2026 (14–17 September) will be hosted at Bangkok's BITEC, drawing 50,000 energy leaders from 150+ countries to address global energy security, LNG, and the emerging AI-data centre infrastructure challenge. The conference features 1,000+ exhibiting companies, 15 national pavilions, 200+ seminars across 12 tracks, and a dedicated AixEnergy stream on AI integration in energy systems. Thailand's government sees this as positioning the country as Southeast Asia's digital infrastructure and energy hub, with Data Centre electricity demand projected to nearly double globally by 2030.
