Start the conversation early. Join fellow industry leaders for an evening of networking, refreshments, and meaningful connections at  Mr. Percivals Waterfront Bar 

Arrive, get settled and grab some light breakfast.  We're looking forward to a day of networking and critical conversations on the state of Australia's methane landscape.

Kick off the day by meeting peers from across Australia's energy landscape. Through a guided roundtable, you'll connect with leaders spanning upstream, midstream, LNG, and beyond while setting the stage for collaborative discussions throughout the day.  Light refreshments. 

Speaker:

Ryan Stewart - VP Sales, Bridger Photonics

Hear how Bridger is helping operators transform trusted measurement into better operational decisions. We'll share our vision, product direction, and what's next as methane management continues to evolve across the full energy value chain. 

Speakers:

Joel Baller - COO, Bridger Photonics

Gi Wilkenfeld - Director, Client Success, Bridger Photonics

APA Group shares how measurement is being applied across one of Australia’s largest energy infrastructure networks. The session will explore the practical realities of deploying methane measurement at scale—and how better emissions data can support operational decisions across approximately half of Australia’s natural gas transmission pipelines.

Speaker

• Mark Plummer — Group Emissions Manager, APA Group

Recharge over coffee while continuing conversations with peers and industry leaders. Some of the best ideas happen between sessions 

Australia has an opportunity to build greater sovereign capability in methane measurement and reduction. This session will explore the value of an economy-wide, measurement-based methane dataset, the policy landscape shaping industry action and lessons from turning field-tested technology into an approved regulatory method. 

Speaker:

Craig Duarte – Senior Advisor, Climate Policy and External Engagements, Woodside Energy 

Industry leaders share how their company is coordinating methane measurement across complex global operations. The conversation will cover deployment, data reconciliation and the role measurement plays in reporting, maintenance and operational decision-making—along with what they want to see as methane standards and technologies continue to evolve.

 Speakers:

• Ian Joynes – Principal Advisor Methane Data and Analytics, Woodside Energy

• Rory O'Keefe - Asset Sustainability and Technology Manager, Woodside Energy  

Take a break and enjoy a catered lunch with new and old friends.

This presentation examines how satellite, aircraft, UAV and ground-based sensors are informing coal mine methane emission estimates. 

Speaker:

• Professor Simit Raval — School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering, UNSW Sydney

Take a closer look at Australia’s National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme (NGERS) and the broader regulatory environment influencing emissions measurement and reporting. This session will explore how requirements are evolving across sectors—and the implications for credible, measurement-informed reporting.

Speaker

• Sebastian Hoerning - Senior Research Fellow, The University of Queensland  

How can methane measurement move beyond reporting to deliver a practical abatement plan? Cleanaway and leading researchers will explore how credible emissions data supports reduction strategies, Australia’s Safeguard Mechanism and high-integrity carbon metrics. The interactive discussion will also examine the growing tension between measured and estimated emissions—and what it means for operators, policymakers and boards.

Speakers

• Dr. Taku Ide — Head of Carbon, Cleanaway
• Professor Bryce Kelly -  Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of New South Wales 
  
  

One final opportunity to connect before the closing sessions. Exchange ideas, make new introductions, and continue building relationships with industry peers. 

This session outlined our strategic initiatives for 2026, focusing on advancing our product roadmap while scaling operations through offshore expansion and launching our new Command Platform to centralize management and enhance operational efficiency. Key priorities include accelerating product development, building global team capacity, and deploying integrated command capabilities to drive competitive advantage.

Speakers:

Ryan Stewart - VP Global Sales, Bridger Photonics

Gi Wilkenfeld - Director, Customer Success, Bridger Photonics

Get an inside look at Bridger Command and how it continues to evolve alongside customer needs. See current capabilities, upcoming innovations, and help influence what's built next. 

Speakers:

• Gi Wilkenfeld - Director, Client Success, Bridger Photonics  

This interactive discussion brings together operators from across the value chain to explore shared challenges, emerging opportunities, and where technology needs to go next. Your feedback will help shape the future of Bridger's platform and capabilities. 

Bridger led facilitated discussion.

We'll close the day by highlighting key takeaways, next steps, and opportunities to continue collaborating as Australia's methane management landscape continues to evolve. 

Speaker:

• Joel Baller - COO, Bridger Photonics  

Let's close after a long day together and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the terrace.  Be sure to join us for dinner which is just a short walk away.
