Join the discussion on Diversity & Inclusion in Energy

Diversity & Inclusion in Energy is open to conference delegates and exhibition visitors. The Diversity in Energy program will unite policy makers and energy industry leaders to forge strategies for increasing participation in the energy industry from across all sections of society so that companies can make the most of their talent pool. Be part of the discussion and the action!

Wear comfortable shoes

Follow proven tips to stay energized at conferences. It probably goes without saying, but you’ll need comfortable shoes to make it through the day and maximize your time there. Better still, bring along some water too. It’ll probably be in the high 80s or low 90s and you don’t want to be stuck in a water line when there’s so much to see and do.

Bring your business cards

Gastech is expecting 35,000 international attendees this year, including professionals from major NOCs, IOCs, integrated energy companies, global utilities, EPC contractors, shipbuilders, pipeline companies, manufacturers, technology providers, and service companies. Chances are you’ll run into someone you want to connect with again later, be it a potential employer, supplier, partner, or mentor.

The schedule is packed

There are 13 ministerial and CEO panel sessions plus more than 100 strategic and technical conference sessions.   A few highlights include the Diversity and Inclusion in Energy seminars, Young Gastech, and the Energy Talent Exchange. You won't want to miss these sessions:

The diversity session will unite policy makers and energy industry leaders to forge strategies for increasing participation in the energy industry from across all sections of society. As companies recognize that a diverse workforce makes for a more qualified and innovative staff and the energy industry continues to face its people challenge, this forum will provide a vital platform where top level executives will share how companies can make the most of their talent pool and enable the best and brightest to succeed.
