Catherine Tanna leads BG Group's Australian business, QGC, and reports to BG chief executive, Frank Chapman. She will present the company's response to the challenge of maintaining strong growth in the current business environment.

BG Group production expanded at a compound annual growth rate of 12% between 1997 and 2009. It has committed to continue that growth at 6–8% over the period to 2020. It has built an industry-leading global LNG business.

Catherine will explain how BG Group has underpinned its success and how it will deliver on its promises to investors. She will set QGC in this context and explore the lessons from BG Group's entry to Australia. BG Group's first investment in Australia was just over two years ago, and it has built a resource position of 17 tcf in Queensland and is approaching the final investment decision on its Queensland Curtis LNG Project.
