LAGCOE Exhibitors and Visitors:

On behalf of the LAGCOE Executive Committee and Board of Directors, I thank you for visiting our Web site. LAGCOE is a one of a kind event. Our industry exhibits and technical sessions attracts the major decision makers of the petroleum industry. Held biennially at the Cajundome and Convention Center in Lafayette, LA, our event in consistantly draws more than 16,000 attendees and featured exhibits by 330 leading companies.

Our 27th industry showcase, set for October 27-29, 2009 promises to be an even larger success and unparalleled business opportunity. Like the oil and gas industry, LAGCOE has evolved since our first show in 1955. Originally an exhibition focused primarily on the Louisiana Gulf Coast, today we are one of the two largest petroleum industry conferences in the nation, attracting international attention. Just as the energy industry is constantly advancing to meet new demands and challenges, LAGCOE exhibits and technical sessions are designed to support bold, innovative approaches in the quest for energy.

Our exhibits offer the most advances technology for pursuing organizational goals. The products and services showcased here are cutting edge--the high tech tools of the 21st century. LAGCOE technical presentations are designed to offer solutions for the challenges of today’s oil and gas environment where new technologies and approaches are critical to enhancing production and minimizing costs.

We are looking forward to seeing all of you at LAGCOE 2009.
