Perth Lunch 2026
About this Event
PERTH LUNCH
Perth offers a uniquely connected enviroment - a place where the industry comes together in a more intimate, close-knit setting. The APGA Perth Lunch builds on that strength, creating an evening where conversations are easy, introductions happen naturally, and relationships are strengthened.
ABOUT THE APGA LUNCH SERIES
The APGA Lunch Series brings the pipeline industry together through a program of relaxed, conversation‑focused events held across the country.
Each dinner begins with informal networking, giving attendees the chance to reconnect with peers and meet new faces from across the sector. Guests then move into a shared dining experience featuring brief presentations from event sponsors and a keynote speaker, offering perspectives on current industry themes.
Designed to be welcoming and easy to engage with, the Lunch Series provides a simple way to stay connected, exchange ideas, and remain part of the national industry conversation.
We’re honoured to welcome from Woodside Climate, Sustainability and Energy Policy Vice President, Peter Metcalfe as our keynote speaker and guest of honour. He will share his perspective on the current state of the gas industry, how it is shaping Western Australia, and what lies ahead during a period of rapid transition and opportunity.
Beyond the keynote, the lunch offers a relaxed yet professional setting to strengthen industry relationships, meet new connections, and stay engaged with the people shaping the future of energy infrastructure.
