Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, ADIPEC 2024 will take place in Abu Dhabi from November 4 to 7, 2024. Hosted by ADNOC Group at ADNEC Center Abu Dhabi, the event expects more than 1,800 leading innovators, experts, and visionaries from fields of energy and artificial intelligence (AI) to attend.
This year’s landmark 40th edition will bring the global energy industry together to explore the key role of 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.
“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,” stated Tayba Al Hashemi, chair of ADIPEC 2024 and CEO of ADNOC Offshore.
Fast-tracking the energy transition
The ADIPEC 2024 Strategic Conference agenda convenes some of the world’s most influential voices to explore how technological innovation can fast-track energy transition while highlighting the importance of cross-sector partnerships for decarbonization.
“Marking 40 years since its inception, ADIPEC 2024 will be the most ambitious edition yet. The international community and global energy ecosystem will unite there around the need for decisive action to secure net zero. Featuring innovative technologies, valuable insights, and influential voices, the event will deliver a renewed global commitment to creating a secure, equitable, and sustainable energy future for all,” stated Christopher Hudson, president of dmg events.
Next-gen technologies in decarbonization
Attendees at ADIPEC 2024’s new Digitalization and Technology Conference will learn how next-generation technologies, including AI, can unlock decarbonization and efficiency opportunities that Industry 4.0 presents. The agenda will showcase progress in new materials, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), while also addressing how technologies can be scaled up in a sustainable and equitable manner.
ADNOC will also launch an inaugural exhibition, Energyai (Energy to the power of AI), at ADIPEC 2024 which highlights the impact AI can have on the energy value chain, while also revealing AI’s impending demand on global energy systems. Within Energyai, an AI conference will gather leaders from the energy, technology, and government sectors to develop a strategic roadmap for integrating AI into the energy landscape.

Developing future-ready energy systems
The Finance and Investment Conference is another new addition to ADIPEC 2024. The conference will give leaders from the government, finance, and energy sectors a platform to discuss the disparity between capital flows and the investment necessary for a fair and equitable transition. Meanwhile, the new Voices of Tomorrow conference aims to connect the Global North and South, giving future leaders a voice in an inclusive future.
On the other hand, the ADIPEC Leadership Roundtables will also include a focus on AI. The exclusive, invitation-only closed-door discussions will explore the critical relationship between AI and energy, focusing on how AI can accelerate the development of a future-ready energy system.
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 specialized industry areas focused on decarbonization, digitalization, maritime and logistics, and AI.
