AOW Virtual

Reigniting the African Upstream

7 – 8 October 2020

AOW Virtual was an unmissable two-day online conference packed full of strategic outlooks, debates, and a Somalia licensing round update. The content was free to attend and the event offered delegates a chance to engage in progressive dialogue with the sector's most robust leaders. In addition, 1-2-1 meetings for selected delegates took place virtually and enabled meaningful conversations, re-invigorated partnerships and sparked new connections that reignited the African upstream.

For those who were unable to join, session recordings are available here.
