The 17th edition of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) takes place on 10 - 13 November 2014 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). As the largest exhibition for the Middle East oil and gas industry, ADIPEC is supported by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and the UAE's Ministry of Energy and hosts over 1,500 exhibitions and attracts more than 45,000 attendees and is the place where oil and gas industry professionals get together to experience, discover, network, discuss and debate core industry issues.

The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, ADIPEC, has been closely linked with the growth of the Middle East’s oil and gas industry. As the largest oil and gas event within the region and the largest outside of North America, ADIPEC started in 1984 as a government owned event and, as the industry grew, so did ADIPEC, which has grown into the largest regional conference that hosts 4,000 delegates and an exhibition that includes 1,600 exhibitors over 38,000 square meters of space.
