| The Short Course is
designed to offer basic track and advanced track workshops in
the field of natural gas measurement, natural gas regulation.
Also offered will be workshops in general interest areas related
to the measurement and regulation of natural gas. Hands On
workshops and Roundtables will be offered too. See
