Abu Dhabi is preparing to host ADIPEC 2026, one of the world’s largest energy conferences and exhibitions, with the event set to bring together global leaders from energy, technology, finance and industry.
Held from November 2–5 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, ADIPEC 2026 will focus on strengthening energy security, expanding supply, attracting investment and deploying new technologies as global energy demand continues to evolve. The event will take place under the patronage of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The 2026 programme has been expanded around major themes including energy security and resilience, policy and regulation, upstream development, clean power and carbon management, infrastructure, industrial execution, workforce skills, AI and digital innovation. More than 380 sessions will be held across the conference programme.
The exhibition is expected to feature more than 2,250 companies, including 54 national, international and energy companies, alongside 30 country pavilions. Dedicated areas will showcase developments in artificial intelligence, low-carbon technologies, digitalisation, and maritime and logistics.
Senior figures already confirmed include energy ministers and executives from major global companies such as Shell, TotalEnergies, bp, Siemens Energy, SLB and Baker Hughes. Their participation will provide a platform for discussions on investment, innovation and the infrastructure required for future energy systems.
ADIPEC 2026 will also build on the previous edition’s commercial impact, when the event generated US$53 billion in value through more than 49,000 deals.
With policymakers, investors, technology companies and energy producers gathering in Abu Dhabi, the event is set to reinforce the emirate’s role as a major international platform for energy dialogue, investment and industry collaboration.
