ADIPEC 2020 Technical Conferences and Exhibition: a virtual event experience
Shell, Schlumberger and Petroleum Development of Oman each received two 2020 ADIPEC Awards recognise excellence across Oil and Gas industry. The ADIPEC Virtual Awards form part of the ADIPEC 2020 Virtual Strategic and Technical Conference (9 – 12 November 2020).
ADIPEC Virtual 2020 (9 – 12 November) is offering an opportunity for global industry leaders to assess the emerging landscape of the Oil and Gas sector in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event, which runs until Thursday, November 12, features more than 135 live and on-demand sessions, with over 700 speakers, delivering 100 hours of industry focused content. Delegates can access the latest industry knowledge, technical expertise, applications, solutions, and services, on any device that has an internet connection, anywhere in the world and, with on-demand access, at any time.
Alongside the strategic and technical conference sessions, ADIPEC 2020’s virtual exhibition is hosting more than 100 exhibiting companies from across the global Oil and Gas industry.
Specifically, ADIPEC Virtual 2020 will focus on the strategies that will lead to long-term success – considering the long-term impact of the crisis on the global economy, supply and demand for energy, and the implications COVID has had on the global energy transition. With the shift to a low carbon world driven by increasingly motivated societal, investor and government pressures, the need for the hydrocarbon sector to transform is paramount.
Against this background, ADIPEC 2020, albeit virtual, will play an important role in developing the thought-leadership, direction and strategies that will inform the energy industry to navigate this complex time.
