Did you know LAGCOE is supported by more than 250 volunteers from both operators and service companies who work together to put on one of the largest oil and gas expositions in the country? LAGCOE is committed to involving tomorrow's leaders in LAGCOE today.

Lawrence Svendson, Operations Manager for Lafayette-based Marlin Energy and 2011 LAGCOE Chairman commented "One of the things that has made LAGCOE such a success story for decades is relationships. Networking is extremely important, especially for the oil & gas industry, where new technologies and processes often come about through the building of relationships and the sharing of ideas among peers. As many industry veterans reach retirement age, younger professionals are making up a larger part of our industry and are building relationships that will carry them through the next generation of Louisiana's oil & gas industry."
