Commenting on plans for the 2023 Aberdeen-Houston Gateway, event creator Brett Jackson said: “Through a successful mix of presentations, case studies and networking opportunities this event continues to grow in popularity, hence our decision to expand our format to maximise the opportunity for everyone involved.
“The themes of energy and digital transition will again run throughout the event which will act as a celebration of existing and potential links between the UK and the US, and we look forward to getting back to meeting in person for the first time since 2019.”
Last year the firm behind the event hosted a similar, Aberdeen Perth Gateway, which saw the agent general of Western Australia, John Langoulant, praising the north-east for being “ahead” of his region in various spaces.
