MORE THAN JUST A CONFERENCE
Middle East Petroleum Club
Founded in 2012, the Middle East Petroleum Cub (MEPC) has grown in status to become one of the most important and influential
networking platforms for the Oil & Gas industry in the Middle East.
Aimed at today's CEOs and Senior Management, content and the sharing of insights and knowledge now play a pivotal role in the
value proposition that MEPC offers with dedicated country focused content from different parts of the world.

ADIPEC Awards
Hosted by ADNOC at the world famous Emirates Palace, the ADIPEC Awards are universally regarded as the pinnacle of success
for those seeking recognition for their company's activities throughout the MENA region's Oil & Gas industry.
Under the theme of Innovation and Excellence in the MENA Region, the awards has grown since its creation in 2010 and in 2014
received over 390 submissions from 27 countries.

Women In Industry
The recruitment of women into the industry remains a key challenge, as does their empowerment once choices are made. The
ADIPEC Women in Industry programme brings together leading women who are already at the pinacle of their careers to discuss,
guide and advise on the challenges and opportunities that await women through a series of debates and open dialogues.
The programme also runs throughout the year, convening on a quarterly basis where guest speakers are invited to share their
experiences to a discerning audience eager to learn from others as they chart their career in the industry.

Young ADIPEC
Held under the Patronage of H.E. Sheikh Nahyan Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth and Communities, the
Young ADIPEC programme provides High School students aged between 14 - 17 with the opportunity to gain valuable
insights into the variety of careers in the Oil & Gas industry.
Students have the opportunity to gain hands on experiences via focused field trips to key establishments across the
UAE, combined with an onsite "edutainment" experience and visits to companies taking part in the exhibition to better
understand the industry's landscape.
