Video: Christoph Frei, secretary general, World Energy Council, on the 2019 World Energy Congress in Abu Dhabi

Christoph Frei, secretary general, World Energy Council.

Held every three years and positioned as the flagship event of the World Energy Council, the World Energy Congress is the longest-running and most influential energy event in the world, covering all aspects and scopes of the energy sector across the world.

The congress brings together heads of states and energy ministers from around the world, as well as energy leaders and stakeholders to lead the global energy debate.

The next World Energy Congress will take place in Abu Dhabi, following a successful international bid that Abu Dhabi won at the executive assembly of the World Energy Council in 2014. The Abu Dhabi congress will be held during 7-14 September 2019 and is envisioned to be the most successful World Energy Congress in history since its inception in 1924.

The 2019 World Energy Congress in Abu Dhabi will be the first congress to take place in a MENA country. Also, the UAE will be the first OPEC country to host this crucial event for the energy sector. This confluence of unique factors will support the objective of the organising committee of the Congress to deliver a unique platform for energy stakeholders, covering all perspectives of the energy industry, to convene in Abu Dhabi in 2019 to strategically address the issues impacting the energy sector and continue to lead the global energy debate.
