The second edition will take place under the theme; The Next Steps towards a Prosperous Oil and Gas Industry, as another all-encompassing event and unparalleled opportunity for local and global investors to connect, develop and sign deals and partnerships.
Speaking at the official media launch in Windhoek on 27 May, Economic Association of Namibia Chairman, Jason Kasuto explained; “The 20 – 22 August 2024 will signify a landmark three days of
engagement, empowerment, and energy. The 2nd edition of the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference under the theme: The Next Steps Towards a Prosperous Oil and Gas Industry comes to fruition based on unparalleled demand by industry players (international and local); public, private, academia and civil society stakeholders, as well as the general Namibian public from local entrepreneurs; to professionals across diverse sectors as well as the youth. The message is: Let’s fill the information gap; let’s network; let’s participate.”
He further added; “With over 70 renowned speakers covering relevant topics, panel discussions, master classes, exhibitions, the mission of the Economic Association of Namibia is clear that: the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference 2024 has a strong focus on proposing ideas and strategies that will ensure that investments in the sector will not create an enclave around oil and gas production sites, but that investment will lead to the development of an integrated industrial base with backward and forward linkages to the rest of the economy, thus creating sustainable value chains, jobs and uplifting the living standards of Namibia’s people.”
