ADIPEC is scheduled for 2–5 November 2026 in Abu Dhabi. It remains one of the world’s largest energy exhibitions, with recent editions drawing attendance on the order of 200,000 or more.
The event brings together national oil companies, engineering, procurement and construction firms, and technology vendors. Procurement for upstream, liquefied natural gas and lower-carbon projects remains concentrated on the Abu Dhabi floor, according to the supplied event brief.
A crowded international calendar
ADIPEC sits immediately before SEMA and AAPEX in Las Vegas and China International Import Expo in Shanghai. That sequence puts pressure on travel budgets for energy and industrial exhibitors, particularly companies also planning other international trade shows.
For destinations and organizers, Abu Dhabi’s position is clear. ADIPEC is the energy counterpart to GITEX Global’s technology week and Big 5 Global’s construction week on the same Gulf calendar. Its role extends beyond exhibition stands to industry meetings, conferences and procurement discussions.
Energy buyers and exhibitors can use trade show intelligence to compare the November dates with other business events, expos and conferences. XPO Times also provides an event calendar for upcoming exhibitions.
