SAN FRANCISCO, April 16, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- "IPAA's Oil & Gas Investment Symposium has been called the 'must attend' networking event for the upstream oil and gas industry and the investment community. This year's meeting, April 17-19, 2001, at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers in New York City, will be no exception and is expected to draw an impressive list of attendees," said Bill White, Vice President of Finance and CFO, Pure Resources and 2001 OGIS chairman.
IPAA's 7th annual Oil and Gas Investment Symposium will host 67 of its publicly traded members to present their corporate profiles to the investment community. For 2001, OGIS expanded its reach by incorporating 11 presentations from service and supply companies on Tuesday, April 17. On Wednesday, April 18 and Thursday, April 19, 52 formal and four informal presentations will be offered from exploration and production companies.
This year, IPAA selected StreetFusion, the global network for financial events, to webcast presentations from the Symposium. StreetFusion will webcast 53 company presentations, which will be available both live and archived on the IPAA web site at www.ipaa.org, and on the StreetFusion site at www.streetfusion.com.
Considered one of the best symposiums of its kind, OGIS attracts a neutral audience of buy-side and sell-side analysts, portfolio managers, individual investors, investment bankers and industry attendees. This year's Symposium is expected to attract more than 700 delegates, with over 350 attending from the financial community alone.
