GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo will return for its fourth instalment from February 18-21, 2025, and is expected to attract over 5,000 delegates, feature more than 180 booths, and host 70-plus distinguished speakers at the Guyana Marriott Hotel, according to a statement issued on Saturday by organisers.
Next year’s conference will be held under the theme ‘Connecting the Dots: Integrating the Future’, to highlight the interconnectivity between various aspects of the energy sector. The theme also emphasises the need for strategic collaboration and partnerships to address common challenges and seize shared opportunities within the sector.
“Given Guyana’s strategic location within the Caribbean region, the theme for this four-day event also highlights the importance of regional integration and fostering closer ties with neighbouring countries in areas such as trade, energy, and infrastructure development,” the release stated.
The conference will continue discussions on key challenges and opportunities related to a just energy transition and building balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability.
“Other focus areas include financing sustainable development initiatives, developing a workforce for the future, building resilient supply chains, and promoting the advancement of women in the industry,” the statement added.
The conference will also feature a series of panel discussions centred around investment opportunities in the fields of agriculture, tourism and infrastructure, among others.
“Since its 2021 debut, the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo has established itself as a meaningful platform for connecting industry professionals, government officials, investors, and experts in the energy sector. Participants have benefitted from invaluable engagements with policymakers and regulatory authorities, leading to a deeper understanding of the legal framework, as well as key development plans,” the organisers underscored.
“For exhibitors and participating business professionals, this platform has allowed for products, services, and solutions to be showcased to a targeted audience with opportunities to connect with potential partners for joint ventures, strategic alliances, and project collaborations.”
Additionally, the conference will present an optimal launch pad for small and medium-sized businesses to network and build partnerships.
The statement said that the Secretariat entrusted with the oversight and execution of the conference has meticulously crafted its 2025 prospectus for sponsors and exhibitors who wish to not only gain visibility within the industry, but also play a crucial role in shaping the discourse around energy sustainability and supply chain excellence.
