YPPC Heat

Show your support for some of the industry's greatest young minds and hear about projects and innovations in your local area. In addition, Russell Thomas, Technical Director at WSP will also discuss lessons from natural gas conversion.

The London, Southern & Eastern Section invite you to show your support for some of the industry's greatest young minds as they showcase their forward thinking projects and innovations in the local area.

The YPPC is a competition organised and run annually by IGEM since 2002 for young gas professionals and students aged between 18 and 35 years. Initially a paper competition, it has evolved to encourage greater participation and now focuses on presentation rather than written skills.

The entrants are

  • Niyati Dave, Innovation Project Manager, SGN
  • Ahmed Laidani, Proactive Leak Detection Analyst, Cadent
  • Amir Mohsenifar, Assistant Authorising Engineer, Cadent
  • William Starling, Emergency and Repair Engineer, Cadent

Whether your competing or supporting the London, Southern & Eastern Section entrants, then come along to the SGN offices in Farringdon, London, as they compete for a spot in the YPPC final.

Not only will the winning entrant secure a place in the YPPC final, they will receive £250 and have their paper published in IGEM’s journal, Gas International (Gi).

The Section heat runner-up will receive £100.

In addition to our competition, Russell Thomas, Technical Director at WSP and Chair of the History Panel of the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers will provide a talk on 'Lessons from Natural Gas Conversion' during the interval.
