Fueling Transformation: Guyana's Energy Expo Welcomes 21 Nations and 200 Exhibitors

The forthcoming Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo, scheduled from February 19 -22, 2024 is poised to assemble representation exceeding 21 nations. This high-profile event within the energy domain, has garnered substantial interest with the confirmed presence of nearly 200 exhibitors and sponsorship from 30 entities. Mr. Kurt Baboolall, the luminary at the helm of the Guyana Energy Conference & Supply Chain Expo, illuminated the expansive international participation that will be engaging energy discourse and collaboration. Simultaneously,of the most discerning observations of the Minister of Natural Resources, Mr. Vickram Bharrat included that the Conference and Expo is one of the foremost energy symposiums worldwide.b This event will serve as an emblematic showcase, not only for the energy sector but also as a multifaceted exhibition showcasing diverse segments of Guyana's economy. Minister Vickram Bharrat underscored that Guyana currently stands as one of two nations considered pivotal hotspots within the energy sector. Nevertheless, he emphasized the stark contrast in the developmental trajectory, with Guyana distinctly outpacing Namibia, the other designated hotspot. Guyana is set to achieve a production rate comfortably averaging 600 000 barrels per day. This is indicative of advancements since the preceding energy conference, where output ranged between 380 000 to 390 000 barrels per day. This upsurge in production not only denotes a leap forward in the energy sector but heralds lucrative prospects for the private sector to render goods and services in response to the escalating demands of the energy industry. On a grand scale, the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo will witness the presence of Prime Ministers from Qatar, Trinidad and Tobago, and The Bahamas, alongside the heads of state of Suriname and the Dominican Republic. President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, alongside several ministers representing diverse countries will grace the occasion. With the overarching theme, "Fueling Transformation and Modernisation," this year's expo aims to reveal the essence of transformative processes within the energy sector. Registration for participation remains open, affording interested parties the opportunity to secure booths for their engagement in this momentous event.
