Our judging panel then reviewed these submissions and selected the top 3 abstracts from each of these 4 submission categories. The 12 shortlisted applicants were invited to submit their full posters to be showcased in the Leaders of Tomorrow poster gallery at the event. The finalists also took part in a poster presentation session on October 15, 2026, where each student had the opportunity to present their poster to the judging panel. Category winners were announced during the conference's final day-closing ceremony, where prizes and certificates were awarded.

Applicants were also invited to take part in an exclusive breakfast on October 15, 2026. During this breakfast young leaders were given the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with senior LNG leaders from across the Americas.

All Poster Competition applicants were invited to an exclusive Leaders of Tomorrow Networking Breakfast, bringing together senior LNG leaders, HR representatives, early-career professionals, and hiring teams. This was a rare opportunity for students to build relationships, ask career-focused questions, and gain visibility with employers.

Alongside the breakfast, students also had access to dedicated career-focused sessions throughout the day; ideal for meeting peers, learning how to navigate career pathways, and engaging informally with industry experts.

All participating students received access to the exhibition floor, enabling them to explore companies across the LNG value chain and discover the roles, skills, and opportunities available within the sector.
