The Africa Energy Indaba Conference is the definitive energy conference for Africa providing an annual programme that shapes energy policy for the African continent. Key issues that impact on the African energy sector will be discussed and debated at the event, based on the outcomes of the 2018 Africa Energy Ministerial Roundtable.

The conference will provide an opportunity to debate policy, review industrial progress and market trends, discuss the efficiency of various public support mechanisms and public–private partnerships across the continent and review new data and the latest technological trends globally. Delegates in the early stages of their careers will have an opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of the energy sector and to lay the foundations for their role as “future energy leaders”.

Delegates who attend are able to draw from an international knowledge base and collectively represent a combination of industry experts, project developers, financiers, energy users, government officials and manufacturers. Diversity of experience and the knowledge provided by a broad base of delegates exposes attendees to a vast array of benefits, including:

• Knowledge on the current trends within energy across the African continent, with input from global authorities
