Ben Franklin Technology Partners Shale Gas Innovation and Commercialization Center


SHALE INSIGHT™ 2017 Conference Technology Showcase

September 27, 2017
2:15PM - 5:15PM
David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, PA

As part of the SHALE INSIGHT™ 2017 Conference, the Marcellus Shale Coalition's (MSC) Research Collaborative will host the annual Technology Showcase which provides suppliers of emerging technologies an opportunity to introduce their innovation to the natural gas producer, midstream/pipeline, downstream and service community.  The 2017 Technology Showcase will take place on September 27, 2017, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA at 2:15 p.m.  The event is sponsored by the Ben Franklin Shale Gas Innovation & Commercialization Center, who has helped to coordinate the Showcase since its inception. 

The Research Collaborative is seeking applications from technology providers interested in presenting their technology that is ready for “field test” to the natural gas community. The technology should be ready for pilot testing, slip stream or full scale demonstration in the Marcellus shale and Utica shale.  Technologies beneficial to natural gas exploration, production, midstream, service and utilization areas are of interest. In a format similar to that of a venture capital fair, selected suppliers will be asked to deliver a brief presentation followed by a 2-minute Q&A session. Up to twelve applicants will be selected to present at the Technology Showcase. Several technologies that were presented in the last three years have led to established industrial partnerships.

​To be considered as a presenter, complete and submit an online application by June 7, 2017. A selection committee, comprised of MSC Research Collaborative members, will review the applications and notify the selected presenters by July 10, 2017. A detailed event schedule will be provided by August 23, 2017.

​We look forward to receiving your application.
