Attendees will network with the most influential industry executives and innovative thought leaders through two days of technical and public affairs insight sessions, major keynote addresses, and a dynamic exhibit hall featuring all the major shale players.

Attorneys Kevin Garber and Blaine Lucas will be participating in a session titled “Regulatory Update:  Tracking the Ever-Changing Regulatory Environment in the Appalachian Basin.”  Over the last several years, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia have made significant updates to regulations that govern Marcellus and Utica shale development, including air permitting and local land use regulations. In this session, experts will discuss the latest regulatory updates in each state and share how they are navigating the changing regulatory environment. For more information, click here.

Attorney Meredith Odato Graham will be participating in a session titled “Air is the New Water.” Air compliance regulations are intersecting with increased public interest and inquiry regarding air quality where the oil and gas industry operates. Air permitting, compliance and management are factors in the industry’s overall operational excellence, social license to operate and protection of shareholder value. This workshop will focus on air regulations that are driving compliance monitoring, inquiry response and risk management. It will also explore how the industry can further prepare and respond to new compliance requirements, as well as establish presumptive background conditions, manage stakeholder inquiries, and evaluate collected data.
