10:30 AM	11:45 AM	Panel: All eyes are on phenomenal AI Data Center demand! There are others at the DANCE TOO...Implications for traditional sources of Natural Gas Demand Click here for details. •AI Data Centers consume massive quantities of electricity. •Additionally electric utilities across the southern half of the US and in other select areas of North America are experiencing unplanned and unprecedented load growth over the coming decade due to increased near shoring to avoid supply chain vulnerabilities and population migration issues. •Electric grid reliability concerns have increased as more intermittent generation sources (wind & solar) are introduced into the fuel mix. •With very high reliability requirements for AI Data Centers, on-site generation of electricity utilizing gas-fired power generation infrastructure may be a preferred option. •This panel will examine AI Data Center and supply chain nearing demand, and consider implications for traditional natural gas demand sources (utility, powergen, industrial). •The discussion will consider implications from various perspectives, including competition for supply, price impacts, gas infrastructure availability, exports (LNG & Mexico), contracting strategies, etc. Moderator: Cleve Hogarth, Principal, Cleveland Advisory LLC Speakers: Greg Davis, Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager, Superior Essex, Inc.   James Diemer, President, Energy Evolution Strategy Advisors LLC   Ben Jordan, Director Business & Economic Development, CPS Energy

2:00 PM	3:30 PM	Panel: Much ado about Mexico: Sheinbaum's energy policy; U.S. to Mexico exports; gas infrastructure; domestic energy fundamentals; LNG liquefaction projects; gas-fired powergen; USMCA review Click here for details. •Mexico's fundamentals dynamics and gas pipeline infrastructure bottlenecks and challenges. •The opportunities and challenges of the power sector in Mexico in the context of the Sheinbaum administration. With natural gas-fired power plants accounting for over 60% of generation in the country, can Mexico meet rising demand, reduce emissions and diversify its energy sources, all at the same time? •Liquefaction projects in Mexico. A wave of projects have been announced but only two have moved forward so far, what could their impacts be for Mexico's energy system, regional development and global LNG supply. •What will the review of the USMCA look like in 2026?

3:30 PM	4:30 PM	Panel: Shifting Patterns in US Natural Gas Exports Click here for details. This joint presentation will look at how natural gas molecules leave the United States and where they end up. Roughly one-fifth of US natural gas is exported by pipeline, tanker trucks, ISO containers or aboard massive LNG tankers. With more than two dozen cross-border pipelines, Mexico is the largest single recipient of US natural gas but there are growing ISO container exports to destinations in the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had most US LNG tanker traffic to Europe but global trade patterns are shifting back to Asia. Here in the Americas, there is a small-scale boom for imports and exports underscoring how “small is the new big” for emerging markets. Growing demand for LNG tanker truck deliveries in Mexico and the robust ISO container trade in the Caribbean has created opportunities for new market players. Looking at US export data reveals the hot spots while market intelligence provides insight into where prices and trade patterns will be going.

8:15 AM	8:30 AM	Welcome & Overview Speaker: Ms. Christy Coleman, Vice President, US-Mexico Natural Gas Forum
8:30 AM	9:30 AM	North American Energy: More interconnected than ever before Click here for details. •North American energy markets are more interconnected than ever before – not only across geographies, but across commodities as well.Future oil and NGLs prices are expected to have a significant impact on domestic natural gas production trends. The regulatory and political landscape will likely shape the timing and pace of investment in new infrastructure. On the demand side, the size and timing of natural gas exports (via Mexican pipelines and/or LNG liquefaction facilities) will be driven increasingly by global supply/demand factors. Gas buyers will need to consider more variables (including global weather patterns, infrastructure outages, geopolitical risks) in determining their future price outlooks. All of these factors could potentially add even more volatility to an already ever-changing domestic picture, reinforcing the need for a robust risk management program. Speaker: Ms. Dawn M.
