ADNEC Group to Host Two Major Global Events in Energy and Tourism Sectors in November.
ADIPEC 2026 in Abu Dhabi and World Travel Market London will take place during the same week, highlighting the Group’s international venue network and global events capabilities.
Abu Dhabi(News Desk):: ADNEC Group, a Modon company, is set to begin November with two major international events taking place simultaneously at its leading venues in the UAE and the United Kingdom.
ADIPEC 2026, recognised as the world’s largest energy event, will take place at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi from November 2 to 5, while World Travel Market (WTM) London, one of the global travel industry’s leading exhibitions, will be held at Excel London from November 3 to 5.
The simultaneous hosting of these major events demonstrates ADNEC Group’s international capabilities in managing large-scale exhibitions and conferences across multiple markets. It also highlights the Group’s contribution to connecting global industries, supporting economic growth and strengthening international business relationships across the energy, travel and tourism sectors.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and hosted by ADNOC, ADIPEC 2026 will bring together energy producers, policymakers, technology innovators and investors from around the world.
The event will provide a global platform for developing strategic partnerships, attracting investment and exploring innovative solutions to support a resilient and inclusive energy future.
Since moving to ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi in 2006, ADIPEC has continued to expand alongside its host venue. This year’s edition is expected to be the largest in the event’s history, occupying the venue’s entire exhibition space, including additional halls constructed in the Marina area and Central Plaza.
The exhibition will feature more than 2,000 exhibitors, multiple country pavilions and specialised zones dedicated to digitalisation, decarbonisation, maritime and logistics, and artificial intelligence.
ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi also holds a significant sustainability distinction as the first and only large-scale event venue in the Middle East and North Africa powered entirely by clean energy. This is achieved through a partnership with Emirates Water and Electricity Company and verified through International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) issued by the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy.
Meanwhile, Excel London will welcome international travel and tourism professionals for WTM London, providing a platform for destinations, travel brands and industry leaders to establish partnerships, conduct business and discuss the future of global tourism.
The 2025 edition of WTM London attracted representatives from 182 countries, with exhibitor numbers increasing by 5% year on year and total attendance reaching 46,500.
The event also welcomed 5,500 high-quality buyers, while confirmed business meetings increased by 16% to more than 40,000. These engagements helped generate over £2.2 billion in business deals directly attributed to WTM London.
The simultaneous staging of ADIPEC Abu Dhabi and WTM London underscores the strength and international reach of ADNEC Group’s venue portfolio. It demonstrates the organisation’s ability to deliver world-class exhibitions and conferences while bringing together international businesses, investors, policymakers and industry professionals.
Through its presence in Abu Dhabi and London, ADNEC Group continues to strengthen global connectivity, encourage industry collaboration and support the long-term development of the sectors and destinations it serves.– Ends –
