The Technical Conference this year will feature 159 sessions across 12 categories, for which energy experts and engineers from around the world submit their work to be considered for presentation.
“As chairman of the ADIPEC Technical Conference, I am immensely proud to announce a historic milestone of 5,977 technical submissions received this year. This unprecedented volume of contributions underscores ADIPEC’s vital role as a premier forum for innovative dialogue and exchange within the global energy sector,” said Dr. Khaled Abdul Monem Al Kindi, Senior Vice President, Upper Zakum, ADNOC Offshore and ADIPEC 2024 Technical Conference Programme Chair.
Renewed vision
Continuing its 40-year legacy of energy leadership and innovation, ADIPEC 2024 aims to be a driving force for accelerated energy action. This year, the event sets out a renewed vision, gathering diverse voices from communities, nations and industries to find collective solutions that can deliver affordable, secure and sustainable energy for all.
As a key part of ADIPEC’s portfolio of 10 conferences, the ADIPEC Technical Conference brings together the brightest minds and technical experts from across the energy value chain – the changemakers at the forefront of engineering, technology and industry innovation.
Top categories
The two submission categories that saw the biggest increases were Energy Transition and Decarbonization, and AI and Digital Transformation, with 38 percent and 32 percent growth, respectively. These increases reveal the energy industry’s growing focus on emerging digital technologies and efforts to decarbonize in support of the energy transition, which are a major focus of ADIPEC this year, reflected across its dynamic conference and exhibition agenda.
The number of submissions from Arab and African countries also saw a significant increase over last year, rising 50 percent and 28 percent, respectively. Submissions from the Asia & Pacific Region, North America, and the Middle East also saw double-digit growth.

Christopher Hudson, president of dmg events, the organiser of ADIPEC, said: “Decarbonization presents many challenges and opportunities for all sectors. ADIPEC’s focus on platforming low-carbon energy innovations to power industry, empower lives, and accelerate global prosperity makes its Technical Conference a critical forum to advance a sustainable, secure and equitable energy future. This year’s record number of submissions, along with the substantial increases in geographical and category-specific contributions, highlights the alignment of our agenda with the industry’s needs and the global commitment to be part of the solution.”
