The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 2024, the world’s largest gathering for the energy sector, will open on November 4th at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). Under the theme “Connecting Minds. Transforming Energy,” the event, hosted by ADNOC, aims to highlight artificial intelligence’s (AI) transformative role in the energy transition and to foster innovative solutions toward a sustainable and secure global energy landscape.
A central feature of ADIPEC 2024 is the new AI Zone, dubbed Energyai by ADNOC, where technology giants such as Enercap, Accenture, AIQ, Microsoft, and Baker Hughes will demonstrate cutting-edge AI solutions designed to address energy demands while reducing emissions. The AI Zone includes dedicated networking areas, demo stations, and an immersive showcase, offering hands-on interaction with next-generation technologies.
The exhibition spans 16 halls and features over 2,200 exhibitors, including 54 national and international oil and energy companies and 30 country pavilions. Four specialized zones will guide attendees through key areas of innovation: the AI Zone, Decarbonisation Zone, Digitalisation Zone, and Maritime & Logistics Zone.
In its 40th edition, ADIPEC is poised to be a milestone event. Christopher Hudson, President of dmg events, noted that “ADIPEC 2024 will be the most impactful yet, uniting the global energy community to drive practical solutions shaping the future of energy. With a focus on bold innovations and strategic insights, ADIPEC reinforces the commitment to a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient energy future.”
Expected to attract over 184,000 attendees from 164 countries, ADIPEC 2024 will also host more than 1,800 speakers, including 40 ministers and 200 C-suite executives. These leaders will engage in discussions across a 10-conference series, including the Strategic Conference, where they will address an equitable energy transition, the latest market trends, and solutions for accelerating decarbonization.
With more than 370 sessions planned, ADIPEC 2024 offers attendees a platform for collaborative dialogue, access to new technologies, and a venue for exploring actionable insights to balance immediate industry demands with sustainable, long-term goals. The event’s comprehensive program underscores its role as a pivotal force in shaping a secure and innovative energy future.
