ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
As the Egypt Petroleum Show (EGYPS) transitions to the Egypt Energy Show (EGYPES) there has never been a more opportune moment to consider submitting technical abstracts for the EGYPES 2024 Call for Papers campaign.
With the newly expanded focus covering oil, gas, refining, petrochemicals and the wider energy value chain, we are looking for technical experts to submit abstracts that focus upon all types of energy including hydrogen, nuclear power and infrastructure, battery storage and electric charging infrastructure, wind, wave and solar power. Plus, CCS and CCUS, climate tech and innovation, methane reduction, renewable feedstocks, gas and LNG, circular economy, decarbonisation and energy transition.
With 19 upstream, midstream, downstream and energy transition categories to select from, download the EGYPES 2024 Technical Conference Call for Papers brochure to see how you and your business can contribute.
Interested to be a speaker at EGYPES 2024? For the chance to take your spot at the podium next February, the journey begins with submitting abstracts.
