ADIPEC, the world’s largest energy event, has announced that this year’s landmark 40th edition will bring the global energy industry together to explore the key role of artificial intelligence (AI) and finance in accelerating the global energy transition.
It will also include three new conferences with new voices from finance, technology, youth and the Global South to help shape a more sustainable and inclusive energy future.
Held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and hosted by ADNOC, ADIPEC 2024 will take place in Abu Dhabi on 4-7 November.
Over 184,000-plus attendees are expected, with more than 1,800 leading innovators, experts and visionaries from energy, AI and other technologies to speak at the expanded conference.
Tayba Al Hashemi, chair of ADIPEC 2024 and CEO of ADNOC Offshore, said: “AI needs energy and energy needs AI. This AI-energy nexus will be a major focus of ADIPEC’s milestone 40th edition.
“Bringing global leaders and innovators together, we will discuss AI's potential to transform economies and industries, particularly its role in accelerating a just, orderly and equitable energy transition."
The ADIPEC Strategic Conference agenda convenes some of the world’s most influential voices to explore how technological innovation can fast-track the energy transition while highlighting the importance of cross-sector partnerships for decarbonisation.
Attendees at ADIPEC’s new Digitalisation and Technology Conference will learn how next-generation technologies, including AI, can unlock decarbonisation and efficiency opportunities presented by Industry 4.0.
The agenda will showcase progress in new materials, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), while also addressing how technologies can be scaled up in a sustainable and equitable manner.
Complementing the 10 conferences at the event, the ADIPEC Exhibition will span 16 halls and bring more than 2,200 exhibitors from the full spectrum of the global energy ecosystem together to showcase the latest breakthroughs shaping the future of energy. This includes 54 NOCs, IOCs, NECs and IECs, 30 dedicated country pavilions and four specialised industry areas focused on decarbonisation, digitalisation, maritime and logistics and AI.
