What is ADIPEC?
ADIPEC is the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, an annual energy event held at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. It is hosted by ADNOC and organised by dmg events. It combines a large exhibition with a Strategic Conference for leaders and a Technical Conference for engineers. The organisers describe it as the world’s largest energy event.
For exhibitors, that scale is the challenge. With more than 2,250 companies on the floor, a stand has seconds to be noticed, and professional photography and video are what keep that presence working long after the halls close.

Young ADIPEC also grew, with over 1,000 high school students and 400 university participants.
How Fotography.ae covered ADIPEC 2025
At ADIPEC 2025, Fotography.ae worked with many exhibiting companies and covered their presence at ADNEC from the stand outward. That included the booth of Eastern United Petroleum, where we photographed and filmed the stand and produced a polished highlight video.
Our ADIPEC coverage combines:
- Stand photography: wide shots of the booth design, branding and layout, plus detail shots of products and display elements
- People and moments: team members, client meetings and visitor interactions, captured candidly
- Highlight video: a short, edited film that shows the stand and the energy on the floor
- Social-ready cuts: shorter versions for LinkedIn, Instagram and WhatsApp, so the content can be posted while the show is still running
The result is a visual record that exhibitors reuse in post-event reports, LinkedIn campaigns, websites and next year’s exhibition planning.

A redesigned Strategic Conference. The organisers say it is rebuilt around the forces reshaping energy. The new programmes are Energy Security & Resilience; Policy, Regulation & Governance; Upstream; Clean Power, Molecules & Carbon Management; Grids, Infrastructure & Industrial Execution; and Workforce & Skills.
A shift from ambition to execution. The 2025 edition centred on energy addition and AI. The 2026 messaging centres on energy security, resilience, infrastructure and delivery. The ADIPEC chairman has framed it as investing ahead of demand and strengthening the systems that keep energy moving.
Four specialised zones. AI, Digitalisation, Maritime & Logistics, and Low Carbon & Chemicals, plus the Young ADIPEC student programme, according to the venue map. The same guide reports three new country pavilions this year: Argentina, Austria and Nigeria.
Senior speakers. Confirmed speakers include the UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, energy ministers from Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Lebanon and Libya, and leaders of major energy companies.
Practical points for exhibitors and visitors. A visitor pass was listed at US$60 plus VAT before the show and US$100 from 2 November. Nobody under 18 is admitted. There is no visitor parking at ADNEC, so drivers use the free Park and Ride sites and shuttle buses.
