Energy & AI Conference and Exhibition Abuja

The Energy & AI Conference and Exhibition is an international industry conference and exhibition bringing the energy sector together with the latest developments in artificial intelligence, digitalisation and data-driven technologies. Held at the Abuja Continental Hotel in Abuja, Nigeria, the event is primarily aimed at trade visitors, decision-makers and industry professionals.

The event is organised by WAECON, a Nigerian exhibition and conference organiser that brings together companies, government institutions, investors, technology providers and industry professionals, promoting business and technology exchange particularly across West Africa. WAECON has experience in organising sector-specific industry events, including those serving the energy, oil and gas industries.

At the heart of the Energy & AI Conference and Exhibition is the practical application of artificial intelligence across the entire energy value chain. The programme covers artificial intelligence and machine learning alongside digitalisation, automation and data analytics. It also addresses technological developments in the oil and gas industry, power generation and distribution, renewable energy, the energy transition and the development of modern energy infrastructure. Emerging technologies, investment opportunities and new business prospects further broaden the scope of the event. As such, the conference goes beyond the format of a conventional energy exhibition by linking technological innovation with real-world applications, investment projects and new business models.

In the exhibition area, companies and technology providers showcase products, services and solutions designed to support the digital transformation of the energy industry. These include artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, data-driven analytics and forecasting solutions, automation and intelligent control systems, as well as technologies for power generation, electricity networks, renewable energy and modern energy infrastructure. Particular emphasis is placed on solutions that enable energy companies to improve operational efficiency, analyse large volumes of data, forecast developments, optimise assets and enhance maintenance processes. The exhibition is complemented by technical presentations, expert discussions, networking opportunities and business development activities.

Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of the industry, including utilities, oil and gas companies, power generation and energy infrastructure businesses, renewable energy providers, and companies specialising in technology, software, AI, automation, engineering and consultancy. The event is aimed particularly at senior executives and decision-makers from the energy sector, engineers, IT and AI specialists, technology developers, investors, project developers, policymakers and representatives of public-sector organisations. This diverse mix provides a platform for cross-sector dialogue between the energy industry, technology companies, investors and the public sector.

Key elements of the event include a two-day conference programme, professional exchange with industry experts and presentations of new technologies and solutions. At the same time, the event provides extensive opportunities to build professional networks, develop partnerships and establish new business relationships between energy companies, technology providers, investors and decision-makers.

The event takes place at the Abuja Continental Hotel, No. 1 Ladi Kwali Street, Wuse Zone 4, in a centrally located business district of Nigeria’s capital. The location is also convenient for international trade visitors, with key government institutions, embassies and business districts within relatively easy reach. International participants can travel to Abuja via Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV), with onward road connections to the venue.

The Energy & AI Conference and Exhibition therefore provides a central meeting point for industry professionals, companies, investors and decision-makers engaged in shaping the digital future of the energy sector. Alongside professional knowledge exchange, the event focuses on practical applications of artificial intelligence, innovative technologies, investment opportunities and potential partnerships within the Nigerian and wider West African energy markets.

The Energy & AI Conference and Exhibition will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 13. October to Thursday, 14. October 2027 in Abuja.
