The GHN-exhibition at WGC 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Gas Historical Network was represented with an exhibition at the World Gas Conference October 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina with a 52 sqm stand, presenting 22 posters about gas history from Poland, Spain, France, Chile, Argentina, Sweden and Denmark.

Besides Gas History Network was happy to present some very beautiful artefacts, delivered by Metrogas, Argentina.

We received very good response and worthy contacts for future cooperation to expand the network.
