Congress Ambassador Programme Launch
As the 2016 World Energy Congress in Istanbul in October draws ever closer, we are excited to have
formally launched our ‘Ambassador Programme’. For this we will be working with some of the highest
profile speakers – already we have 165 confirmed high level speakers from government, industry and
academia who will be addressing the Congress. Watch out for profiles, articles and broadcast interviews
over the coming few months which will provide insight into the ‘mustn’t miss’ World Energy Congress.
Additionally, we have seen our sponsorship sales really drive forward with Saudi Aramco signing as
major exhibitors and a number of other household names in the pipeline. The exhibitors, sponsors,
media partners and speakers all go to show why this is the premier event for the energy industry – we
hope to see all of our readers there.
