Event overview
GIE Conference is a pivotal conference which gathers the high-level EU
policymakers and industry decision-makers in charge of defining the
direction of Europe’s energy policies. For two days, the role of natural
gas infrastructure in the short, mid and long terms in Europe's energy mix
will be discussed with a broad selection of experts from around the world.
In that regard, we strongly believe that it is essential to shed light on
your country’s position to raise awareness of the Baltic region's
situation. By actively working on strengthening your energy security and
promoting the development of alternative energy sources, including
renewables, and low-carbon and liquefied natural gas (LNG), you are
setting a great example for the rest of Europe. Your exchange on stage
with the other representatives of the Baltic region will be the occasion
to advocate for energy security while portraying the need for policies
supporting the diversification of energy sources in the Baltic region and,
by extension, Europe. It will also encourage greater cooperation and
coordination among European countries to foster the European Union’s
energy security. European Commission, European Parliament, Academia, Wind,
Electricity, Gas, Energy Consumers representative will speak on stage and
attends the event and networking session which represent for you the
opportunity to inform and inspire the whole of Europe.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us in case new questions arise.
We thank you for your consideration and look forward to hearing further
details on the messages you intend to present.
Sincerely yours,
Gabrielle Lelievre

Subject: CONFIRMATION SPEAKER | Ministers panel - GIE Annual Conference 15
June 2023 - EU Decarbonisation & Energy Security in short, mid & long
terms
Dear Sir/Madam,
We take the opportunity to revert to you considering GIE annual conference
in Riga is coming soon.
We would like to inform you that the rest of the panellists, including the
Minister of Energy of Latvia, confirmed their in-person participation to
your panel.
As the moderator will soon reach out to their offices to coordinate the
angle for discussion, we would be most grateful of you confirming the name
of the representative you will delegate from your office.
As presented in our original invitation that you will find below, GIE
Annual Conference is a pivotal event which gathers the high-level EU
policymakers and industry decision-makers in charge of defining the
direction of Europe’s energy policies. As you have seen on the agenda, the
role of natural gas in the short, mid and long terms in Europe's energy
mix will be discussed with a broad selection of experts. In that regard,
we strongly believe it is essential to shed light on your country’s
position to raise awareness of the Baltic region's situation.
By actively reducing your dependence on Russian gas and promoting the
development of alternative energy sources, including renewables, and
low-carbon and liquefied natural gas (LNG), you are setting a great
example for the rest of Europe. Your exchange on stage with the other
representatives of the Baltic region will be the occasion to advocate for
energy security while portraying the need for policies supporting the
diversification of energy sources in the Baltic region and, by extension,
Europe. It will also encourage greater cooperation and coordination among
European countries to foster the European Union’s energy security while
inspiring a wide audience of decision-makers coming from the industry,
civil society, academia, media and policymaking.
Thanking you for your consideration, we look forward to receiving the name
of the representative you identify as most suited for this exchange and
remain at your disposal if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
Gabrielle Lelievre
