Powering the Sustainable Future of the African Upstream with the Sector’s Most Senior StakeholdersAfter a virtual event in 2020, we are extremely honoured to bring together the most senior players in the African upstream for this strategic in-person event once again. Although we would love to be in Cape Town, government restrictions in South Africa meant it was not legally possible. We will, of course, be back in our natural home from 2022 and the long term.

Considerable planning has gone into making this year’s event as spectacular as all those in our 27-year history. The agenda, as always, is focused on delivering strategic business intelligence and deal-making opportunities across Africa. The VIP programme will ensure you continue to meet those at the very top of the industry, many of whom will not be attending any other event this year. The networking functions that AOW are renowned for will too be back with a bang and offer further opportunities to build relationships.

The past two years have seen an accelerated transition towards clean energy solutions. And this year at AOW, our curated programme will run under the theme ‘Succeeding in a Changed Market’, where we, and our impressive lineup of industry experts, will explore the opportunities created by the energy transition for the African upstream.

We look forward to welcoming you.
