Hosting LAGCOE 2019 in New Orleans will bring in more and new participants – and it will put a global spotlight on our state’s industry like never before,” states Jason French, LAGCOE Board Member.
After unveiling the floorplan for the 2019 exposition, Angela Cring, LAGCOE Executive Director, raised a glass to the room and proposed a toast to the future of energy with a drink that was a perfect representation of the relationship between the energy industry and the city of New Orleans – the Laissez Les Bon Temps Sweet Crude Rouler.
