WPC Energy
The WPC Energy (formerly World Petroleum Council) (WPC) was founded in 1933 with the task of organizing congresses (WPC Energy Congress formerly World Petroleum Congress). 60 countries, including Germany, are members of the WPC. Germany is one of the founding countries. In addition to organizing the WPC Energy Congress, the WPC offers other events and numerous publications on the subject of oil and gas.
On the website of the WPC there is detailed information about all activities of the WPC: www.wpcenergy.org
Each member country has a national committee whose task is to ensure the financing of the WPC office in London and to support the preparation of the WPC Energy Congress.
In particular, it is the responsibility of the national committees to publicize the call for papers and promote the conference. The members of the German National Committee (DNK) are executives from various industrial sectors and research institutes.
The WPC Energy Congress differs from pure specialist congresses in that high-ranking personalities from industry and politics are engaged for a demanding plenary program, which gives the congress a high public profile.
It is the most important global platform for the oil and gas industry to address and discuss political and technological trends.
The scope encompasses all major sectors of the industry and includes not only economic and technological issues but also key socio-environmental aspects. WPC Energy has succeeded in establishing itself as the recognized voice of the international oil and gas industry. The German National Committee ensures that German and European business interests are represented by appropriate representatives or speakers.
