Penn State Extension will hold its annual Marcellus Summit on October 10-12 at the Penn State Conference Center State College.

The Conference offers a lineup of speakers and panels covering topics such as shale gas resource estimates, studies on US gas exports and international perspectives on shale gas and oil development.

Special panels will be held throughout the conference as well as environmental, legal and technical break out sections.

More than 400 attendees are anticipated, such as county and municipal officials, industry representatives, legislators, attorneys, state and federal agency staff and environmental and community group members.

As part of the conference, an applied research poster session will be held on the 11th from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The deadline for submissions is September 21. Poster abstracts will be reviewed for relevance to the audience and should be broadly related to shale issues relating to community and social implications; business, workforce, and economic impacts; environmental impacts; natural gas utilization; or public education.

Exhibitor forms and the floor plan layout are found on the Conference website. To provide increased recognition for your business, sponsorships are available at four different levels to meet your company participation interest.
