About the event
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented changes to our lives, the economy and the way we do business, highlighting vulnerabilities but also raising new opportunities. It has generated a seismic shift towards virtual and remote activity challenged concepts of business continuity. Around the world, many operations were confronted with new realities and some ground to a halt.
Internationally, curfews and lockdowns have got us thinking about what the future will bring with many thought-provoking and fresh ideas, discussions and debates to enable us to build back better as we emerge out of the COVID-19 pandemic and how to lead HSE and sustainability out of the crisis into a new world.
Over the three days of this conference, we will bring insight, good practice, innovative thinking, learning and solutions to ensure the energy industry can continue to deliver energy responsibly and safely; preventing harm to people/society and protecting our planet in delivering a more sustainable energy system. As such, this conference will be delivered in the context of the following themes:
- Resilience: what can we learn to build a more resilient operation, to succeed through crisis and rapid change
- Responding: To address immediate challenges, identify solutions and prioritise actions
- Rebuilding: To support companies with plans and systems
- Reimagining: To embrace innovation, apply tools and techniques, transform business models and governance and align government legislation and policy
This conference will bring together industry, academia, regulators, consultants, think tanks and solution providers to HSE and sustainability in the Middle East in the context of major changes we’re all living through. This will cover:
- Strategies for HSE management
- Improving health, welfare and wellbeing of workers and society
- Managing hazards that have the potential to cause major accidents and controlling risk and uncertainty
- Improving human performance and operating safely
- Strategies and policies to drive sustainability and decarbonisation
- Insights and innovation in reducing emissions, OPEX and carbon footprint
- Lifecycle resource management, processes for mitigating environmental impacts and exploring the latest technological development in sustainable economies
Why should you attend
- To expand your knowledge and find solutions to problems: To take stock of latest developments and what we’ve learnt from the pandemic. You will be able to hear lots of new ideas and solutions that can be thought provoking and innovative. These could be new techniques, technology, products, insight and research; giving you the opportunity to learn from thought-leaders that you may have not heard of previously and get advice on work that could enhance your competencies and capabilities and learn beyond your field or interest.
- To network and build collaboration: Bringing together people from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines from different geographical areas, of whom you may not encounter at your workplace or institution and it’s a great place to reconnect with someone that you’ve not spoken to for a while, and a place to make connection with collaborators, solution providers or someone that could help with your professional career by sharing job ideas. It also a great place to meet with peers that have the same interests or maybe to meet with someone that has the same goals to succeed can be a great occasion for you to build new collaboration for your project.
- To enhance your professional and personal development: Providing you with tools and skills, allowing you to dig deeper with the understanding of your topic or interest. Being at a conference is also another way to establish your name and work as an expert in the field.
- Contribute to industry: To collaboratively build technical good practice programmes and share guidance and standards.
