Guyana’s seeming meteoric accession to recognition as an emerging leader in the global oil and gas industry is expected to be further accentuated against the backdrop of the forthcoming February 14-17 showpiece Second Edition of the International Energy Conference and Expo Guyana 2023 (IECEG) which, like its predecessor, will feature ExxonMobil Guyana as the event’s premier sponsor.
Scheduled to be staged at the Marriott Hotel in the country’s capital, Georgetown, the event, which will be held under the theme ‘Harnessing Energy for Development,’ is being seen as further burnishing the country’s image on the international oil and gas circuit by enabling a meeting of minds and discourses on contemporary sectoral issues among internationally acclaimed minds in the global energy sector. When news of the staging of the forum was announced in November last year, the announcement included the disclosure that it was expected to assemble internationally renowned policymakers, academics, industry professionals and entrepreneurs from around the world, as well as “Heads of State and Government and global energy thought leaders” including American Economics Professor, Jeffrey Sachs, considered a global leader in the discipline of Energy Development.
