ADIPEC 2026 Gala Dinner brings the global energy community together at Emirates Palace

The signature evening of ADIPEC 2026 marked the close of the opening day, welcoming ministers, heads of delegation and industry leaders to Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.

The ADIPEC 2026 Gala Dinner took place on Monday 2 November at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. It was held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, in his capacity as Ruler of Abu Dhabi, and hosted by ADNOC.

The Gala Dinner, which was attended by ministers, heads of delegation and senior leaders from government and industry, offered attendees a moment to reflect on the relationships, trust and shared ambition that underpin progress across the global energy sector.

The evening followed the opening day of ADIPEC 2026 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, where more than 2,260 companies and 1,800 speakers are engaging with visitors from over 170 countries. Discussions throughout the day focused on the future of energy, the growing role of artificial intelligence across the sector, and the collaboration needed to turn new ideas into lasting opportunities.
