Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, ADIPEC was inaugurated with the attendance of His Highness Sheikh Hazza Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, National Security Adviser to a footfall of over 10,000 vistors on Day 1 of the event alone.
The highly anticipated ADIPEC 2010, also witnessed for the first time a joint participation between CSS Group and GPLN at one of the largest International Petroleum Exhibition and conference in the world.
The event, which lasted over four days, had a total footfall of over 38,000 visitors at the end of Day 3 only. Over $4bn dollars of deals have been confirmed as a result of this year’s ADIPEC (Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Conference and Exhibition) with some of the biggest names in the global oil and gas industry securing contracts and re-confirming deals at the four day event.
Hifazat Ahmad, event director of ADIPEC, said: “There has been a real buzz on the show floor, whether its deals being discussed, relationships being formed or partnerships coming together. Many of these deals may have been in talks for months but companies recognize that ADIPEC is an ideal platform to sign on the dotted line and confirm the projects.”
During the course of the 4 day exhibition, CSS Senior Managemnet and GPLN members took the opportunity to increase their visibility amongst the key players in the Oil and Gas industry while meeting various members of the GPLN fraternity through which numerous partnerships were created and commitments made for future business.
