It attracts 1,800 C-level delegates and its seminar programme
features over 250 speakers. Over 30 African and International
Ministers, around 21 National Oil Companies and is CPD
accredited. It’s an Upstream event but further development could
be in the offing.
Elizabeth Deeming, Divisional Director at Hyve said:
“We remain very proud of Africa Oil Week, the show has
African Oil Week, Hyve
26 — November
exceeded our goals for the 2019 edition. We have seen high
growth in both sponsor and exhibitor numbers, as well as an
uplift in the quality and seniority of delegates.
We believe that the show’s performance is a direct result of the
support Hyve Group has provided since it acquired AOW back in
2016, particularly the TAG programme investments across our
whole portfolio of African shows.
Changes made specifically at AOW included investments into
our content programme to ensure a better return on time for
our visitors, as well as the benefit of CPD accreditation (AOW
is now accredited by the Continuing Professional Development
Certification Service). We have also increased our marketing
offering and have added a brand-new Government & VIP
relations team.
Last but not least – “think customer” is at the heart of
everything that we do.
This year across our portfolio of African shows, (AOW and
Mining Indaba) we are improving the delegate experience and
we have introduced business intelligence pieces - market reports
and webinars developed in conjunction with industry thought
leaders - to ensure continual engagement throughout the year
with our audiences. Our purpose is to bring the global oil and gas
community together not only during the show, but throughout
the whole year.” EN
