MSGBC Basin Summit & Exhibition
6 - 8 July 2021
CICAD, Dakar, Senegal
THE REGION'S LEADING ENERGY SERIES
MSGBC Basin Summit & Exhibition
After a successful gathering in January 2020, during which His Excellency, Mr. Macky Sall, President of the Republic of Senegal opened the Summit, we’re delighted to announce the MSGBC Basin Summit & Exhibition will return to Dakar in July 2021.
As we prepare for the 5th edition, the Summit remains the only event entirely dedicated to exploring oil and gas opportunities in Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry. Recognised as the meeting place for the latest updates on ongoing and upcoming projects and hear directly from local governments on future plans, the Summit has grown tremendously this year. In response to this growth, the Summit will move to the Centre International de Conférences Abdou Diouf (CICAD) and continue its mission to help you:
Sharpen your business strategy and knowledge of the Basin’s fast-growing industry
Meet with ministries, regulators, NOCs and government bodies from the five MSGBC countries, all under one roof
Expand and solidify your network, meeting with both local and international players
Elevate your company’s profile in one of Africa’s most exciting E&P hot spots
Join the 2021 gathering for three days of senior networking opportunities, strategic panels and data-driven presentations.
DAY 1: MSGBC Local Content Forum | DAY 2 & 3: MSGBC Basin Summit & Exhibition
Key features to look forward to include:
Ministerial Tour of the New, Expanded Exhibition
Local Content Forum
Networking Drinks Reception
MSGBC Country Roundtables
BP Gala Dinner
We are looking forward to welcoming you back to Senegal in 2021. Your health, safety and wellbeing is a priority for us in 2021. With that in mind, the following safety measures have been adopted by the Energy Council.
We will of course be consistently checking and adhering to the guidance and advice given to us by the public health authorities in Senegal to ensure that the MSGBC Basin Summit & Exhibition operates in accordance with local regulations, whilst also meeting international health and safety standards.
