ADIPEC 2024, the world’s largest energy event, returns in its 40th edition this year to bring the global energy industry together to explore the key role of artificial intelligence (AI) and finance in accelerating the global energy transition. The event 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.

ADIPEC 2024 will take place in Abu Dhabi from November 4 to November 7 under the patronage of the President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The event expects the participation of over 184,000-plus attendees, with more than 1,800 leading innovators, experts and visionaries from energy, AI, and other technologies to speak at the expanded conference.

Tech to fast-track energy transition

The ADIPEC 2024 Strategic Conference agenda will also convene 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 decarbonization.

“Marking 40 years since its inception, ADIPEC 2024 will be the most ambitious edition yet. 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,” added Christopher Hudson, president of dmg events.

Attendees at ADIPEC 2024’s new Digitalization and Technology Conference will learn how next-generation technologies, including AI, can unlock decarbonization 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, utilization and storage (CCUS), while also addressing how technologies can be scaled up in a sustainable and equitable manner.
