The 30th edition of AOW: Investing in African Energy marks a significant milestone in our journey, celebrating our vibrant community and reaffirming our dedication to Africa's energy sector. As part of our ongoing commitment, we're enhancing our content strategy by appointing a new Executie Advisory Committee. This board will ensure Africa's interests remain central to our mission while amplifying the diverse voices of the industry.

Our 2024 Advisory Committee comprises prominent leaders from the public and private sectors across the energy spectrum. Together, they'll empower our community to shape AOW's agenda and purpose authentically. Through our cross-disciplinary committee, we aim to align with the goals and aspirations of governments, investors, and businesses in Africa. This collaborative effort will enable us to design programs that drive progress and foster partnerships, playing a pivotal role in advancing Africa's energy industry.
