With less than six months to go until the opening of the 2016 World Energy Congress, which is taking place in Istanbul between 9th and 13th October, we are delighted to confirm that a broad range of partners from right across the energy spectrum have confirmed their exhibition space. These partners include Saudi Aramco, Sonatrach, ITER, Engie and Qatar Petroleum. 

The World Energy Congress is regarded as the most influential and inclusive gathering of senior leaders from all segments of the energy community and is attracting speakers with global reputations from senior figures in politics, business and academia. To date 176 speakers have already been confirmed, including Fatih Birol (IEA), Bob Dudley (BP), Seung – Hoon Lee (KOGAS), Strive Masiyiwa (Econet) and many more. 

Hasan Murat Mercan, President of the Turkish Member Committee, World Energy Congress commented: “We are delighted to have such a high calibre of organisations joining us as speakers and exhibitors. The Congress is an excellent platform for all companies and organisations in the sector to come together, network, share ideas and collaborate on the future challenges and opportunities. 

“Turkey is positioned at the crossroads of the most important energy markets at a time of profound global change in the energy debate, and it is an honour to host the 23rd World Energy Congress.”
