Reuters event in Dubai to unite regional energy leaders
Whilst global net-zero regulatory and political discussions take place on the COP28 stage, 200+ energy executives will focus on regionally tailored and commercially focused steps at Reuters Events’s Energy Transition MENA 2023 summit this December 6-7 in Dubai.
The debut summit, expanding a Reuters’s energy transition events portfolio, offers a timely solution to the question MENA’s energy stakeholders are struggling to answer right now: “Where should I be a COP28?”.

“MENA’s energy mix is shifting. How companies respond right now is essential to future resilience in a shifting market. We look forward to setting actionable strategy alongside the biggest regional names in energy” said Emily Smith, Project Director, and Energy Transition MENA Lead at Reuters Events.
