Forums, specialist events and six expos to fall under WFES brand
The World Future Energy Summit (WFES) has made significant changes for its 2019 edition, combining all aspects of sustainability under one global brand. The annual event, hosted by Masdar, and an integral part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, will see its summit, forums and six co-located exhibitions integrated under the powerful WFES brand, with business and innovation in sustainability as the common theme.
The 2018 event attracted 33,000 attendees and saw the announcement of more than USD 15 billion worth of projects and business deals.
WFES 2019 will take place from 14-17 January at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and under the new format will have five main pillars: The Future Summit, WFES Expo, WFES Forums, WFES Initiatives, and WFES Hosted Events.
WFES Expo will feature more than 850 exhibiting companies from 40 countries, within the specialist sectors of energy, water, solar, eco-waste, green buildings and mobility. WFES will retain its high-level global summit, and will introduce WFES Forums, which will be focused discussions covering topics impacting the industry, from disruptive technologies and artificial intelligence to future cities.
“For more than a decade, WFES has brought together the global business community, providing a central platform to share knowledge, conduct business, and better understand the changing landscape of the industry,” Naji Haddad, Event Director, Reed Exhibitions, organisers of WFES.
