Unlock unparalleled networking opportunities

Side events can serve a wide range of purposes and audiences and support high-profile announcements and main-stage events to workshops and roundtables with targeted audiences.

Complementing the carefully curated and constructive public and private leadership dialogues and innovative formats that create the right conditions for open and honest conversation around critical energy issues, side events are expected to become high-visibility moments for member and partner organisations.

The organisers proposing side events will be responsible for all aspects of the planning and execution, including scoping, identifying participants, and preparing speakers and moderators after approval from the Hosts. If approved, the Congress Host will provide support functions, including rooms and logistics, based on the event format, level of speakers and number of participants for the different side events.
