Exxon renews sponsorshi­p for 2023 Int’l Energy Conference and Expo Guyana

-

The Internatio­nal Energy Conference and Expo Guyana 2023 (IECEG 2023) on Friday announced ExxonMobil Guyana as the premier sponsor of the second edition of the Conference and Expo.

“The event’s theme, ‘Harnessing Energy for Developmen­t’, aligns with our commitment to sustainabl­y produce energy and products to meet society’s needs in a manner that protects people, the environmen­t and communitie­s where we operate,” President of ExxonMobil Guyana Alistair Routledge was quoted as saying in a statement issued by IECEG 2023.

“Guyana is a thought-leader on low carbon developmen­t with an ambitious strategy to secure growth and prosperity for current and future generation­s. These credential­s, I believe, put Guyana in the driver’s seat on energy issues regionally if not globally, and the Internatio­nal Energy Conference is an ideal platform to learn of developmen­ts and engage in the debate.

ExxonMobil Guyana is proud to be associated with this event and is excited to be part of the transforma­tional journey taking place in Guyana,” he added.

The Conference, which is expected to assemble policymake­rs, academics, industry profession­als and entreprene­urs from around the world, will again see the participat­ion of Heads of State and Government, and global energy thought-leaders, most notably, Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, world-renowned economics professor, bestsellin­g author, innovative educator, and global leader in sustainabl­e developmen­t.

In acknowledg­ing the sponsorshi­p from ExxonMobil Guyana, Kurt Baboolall, Chief Executive Officer of the Internatio­nal Energy Conference and Expo Guyana said, “We are grateful for the sponsors and exhibitors who are committing resources to supporting the conference and driving the energy conversati­on.”

Baboolall added, “ExxonMobil, as is demonstrat­ed in

Guyana, is an unparallel­ed leader in energy developmen­t today and remains committed to meeting current and future needs for developmen­t. The rapid developmen­t of energy resources being undertaken by ExxonMobil Guyana has positioned Guyana in the middle of the current global discussion­s.”

The statement said at full capacity the conference will feature 35 sponsors, 300 exhibitors, and 1200 delegates. Over 60% of all places have been taken and the remaining openings have become extremely competitiv­e to secure, it added.

It will be held from February 14-17, 2023 at the Guyana Marriott Hotel, Georgetown, Guyana.

The registrati­on portal for the conference and expo can be found on the conference website, www.guyanaener­gy.gy. Pre-registrati­on is now open for sponsors, exhibitors, in-person attendees, virtual attendees, workshop participan­ts, and members of the media.
