It may not seem like it, but the last in-person GESGB/HGS Africa Conference was back in 2019. But the good news is that for 2023 we are back! The latest incarnation will remain true to the conference’s traditional strength with two days of top-quality technical talks focussed on all aspects of African geology.
The location for this year’s event, taking place 20 & 21 September, is The Kia Oval cricket ground in London where the technical program will encompass our unifying theme of “Unlocking African Energy to Power the Future”. This theme will focus the discussion on how the vast potential of Africa’s subsurface can reduce energy poverty and help drive growth across the continent.
Exploration remains a strong theme of the conference with presentations covering all four corners of the continent. Presenters will also touch on recent well results, upcoming wells, insights into exploration hotspots and suggesting where to go next. Other sessions will focus on tectonics, sedimentary systems, new energy and how to unlock value. In addition, poster displays and trade exhibitor stands will provide the backdrop for the all-important networking opportunities.
