ADIPEC 2026 will take place in Abu Dhabi from 2 to 5 November, convening regional and international energy leaders to address energy security, infrastructure, advanced technology, and investment, according to reports by UAE Barq and the Emirates News Agency (WAM).
Held under the patronage of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and hosted by ADNOC, the exhibition and conference will be staged at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC Centre). Organisers anticipate 239,000 attendees from more than 170 countries, over 2,250 exhibiting companies, 1,800 speakers, and 30 country pavilions.
Reflecting strong demand for exhibition space, this year's Opening Ceremony will be held at the Abu Dhabi Energy Centre, which creates additional exhibition capacity at the ADNEC Centre while offering a dedicated forum for the leadership opening sessions.
Across 13 conference tracks and over 380 sessions, discussions will focus on energy security, liquefied natural gas (LNG), artificial intelligence, advanced technologies, and industrial supply chain growth. Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy, Chair of ADIPEC, stated that the summit comes at a pivotal time when disrupted systems must meet rising global demand through capital investment, new technology, and international partnerships.
Confirmed ministerial and institutional participants include UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Egypt's Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi, Jordan's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Saleh Kharabsheh, and International Energy Forum Secretary General Jassim Alshirawi, alongside delegations and energy companies from across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
