Speakers announced for Congress passes the 200th
milestone
There has been a real surge in the number of speakers confirmed for the World Energy Congress and
we have now passed the 200 speaker milestone, with many recent confirmations being from government
ministers including Chadima Weerakkody, Minister of Petroleum Resources Development, Government
of Sri Lanka and Victor Vlad Grigorescu, Minister of Energy, Government of Romania.
The last month has been a big one for the team organising the World Energy Congress. We officially
launched the event programme in 10 countries including China, USA, UAE and Poland, and as a result,
have seen a real increase in the number of people from industry and government registering to attend.
The Council and PR firm Grayling have secured a number of interviews with major national and
international outlets such as CNBC and the BBC. Since launching the programme, journalists have
increased their engagement with the Congress and we are expecting to have a strong showing from
global media.
Keep your eyes peeled on our social media channels over the next month. We are close to being able to
announce a major international media partnership. We now have a LinkedIn group which has been set
up to enable delegates to discuss the Congress and to see the latest news and updates. Just search
LinkedIn for ‘World Energy Congress 2016’ to join.
