The four business leaders’ panels will focus on strategies for continuing business success. There will also be sessions on energy finance, investment, consolidation and diversification.
Held under the theme of ‘Forging Ties, Driving Growth’, the ADIPEC 2017 will also provide the platform for the professionals to do business and sign deals and find new opportunities in the region.
Commenting on the event, Christopher Hudson, president of Global Energy at dmg events, said, “The oil and gas industry continues to be a key driver for the global economy, but the market is changing, and industry leaders must respond. ADIPEC is a platform where businesses can share ideas that will help them evolve with the commercial environment.”
ADIPEC 2017 conference sessions include offshore and marine, women in energy and security in energy, along with global downstream technical sessions. ADIPEC 2017 will also include downstream industries for the first time this year, which will emphasise on downstream expansion, diversification, integration, technology innovation and research and development.
