Building on the success of its first edition, and in response to calls for a follow-up conference, the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference has confirmed it will return to Windhoek from 20-22 August 2024.

With over 800 delegates, key industry stakeholders and players together under one roof, the first Namibia Oil and Gas Conference in 2023, was a resounding success fuelling knowledge and innovation and laying the solid foundations of a strategic roadmap for guiding both the public and private sectors on how the country can best benefit from the investments in the sector.

Hosted by the Economic Association of Namibia (ean), in partnership with the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) and the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF), with the strategic partnership of the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) and the official endorsement of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Republic of Namibia, the programme featured two days of strategic discussions, delivered by more than 60 speakers. 

The second edition will take place under the theme; The Next Steps towards a Prosperous Oil and Gas Industry, as another all-encompassing event and unparalleled opportunity for local and global investors to connect, develop and sign deals and partnerships.


Speaking at the official media launch in Windhoek on 27 May, Economic Association of Namibia Chairman, Jason Kasuto explained; “The 20 – 22 August 2024 will signify a landmark three days of engagement, empowerment, and energy. The 2nd edition of the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference under the theme: The Next Steps Towards a Prosperous Oil and Gas Industry comes to fruition based on unparalleled demand by industry players (international and local); public, private, academia and civil society stakeholders, as well as the general Namibian public from local entrepreneurs; to professionals across diverse sectors as well as the youth. The message is: Let’s fill the information gap, let’s network; let’s participate.”


He further added; “With over 70 renowned speakers covering relevant topics, panel discussions, master classes, exhibitions, the mission of the Economic Association of Namibia is clear that: the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference 2024 has a strong focus on proposing ideas and strategies that will ensure that investments in the sector will not create an enclave around oil and gas production sites, but that investment will lead to the development of an integrated industrial base with backward and forward linkages to the rest of the economy, thus creating sustainable value chains, jobs and uplifting the living standards of Namibia’s people.”
