Abu Dhabi will host ADIPEC 2026, one of the world's largest energy industry gatherings, from November 2 to 5 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, with organisers expecting around 239,000 visitors from more than 170 countries.
Held under the patronage of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and hosted by Adnoc, this year's edition will bring together more than 2,250 exhibiting companies, close to 1,800 speakers and 30 national pavilions.
ADIPEC 2026 chairman Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy said the event falls at a pivotal moment for the global energy sector, as decisions made today on investment, technology and international cooperation will shape how the world meets its future energy needs.
Confirmed participants include Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, the UAE's Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, Karim Badawi, Egypt's Minister of Petroleum, and Katherina Reiche, Germany's Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, reflecting the breadth of international engagement the event has attracted.
Over the past decade, ADIPEC has grown into one of the Middle East's most significant energy-industry platforms, with its scale of exhibitors, speakers and government delegations reinforcing Abu Dhabi's role as a central venue for discussions on the future of energy investment, technology and policy.
