As Africa's energy sector continues to evolve, industry professionals are looking for platforms that provide opportunities to build partnerships, gain market insights and engage with the policymakers and business leaders shaping the future of the industry.
The 20th OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week, scheduled for October 25–30, 2026 in Lagos, is expected to bring together key stakeholders from across Africa's downstream and midstream energy value chain. The event will feature a conference and international exhibition from October 26 to 29, attracting regulators, government officials, investors, energy companies, technology providers and service firms from across the continent.
Now in its twentieth year, OTL Africa has established itself as one of the continent's leading platforms for business development, policy dialogue and industry collaboration. Its annual gathering provides a forum for participants to exchange ideas, explore investment opportunities and discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping Africa's energy future.
More importantly, the event offers attendees direct access to decision-makers across the energy value chain. Policymakers, regulators, refinery operators, petroleum marketers, gas companies, logistics providers, financiers and technology firms are expected to participate, creating opportunities for meaningful business engagement and collaboration.
Conference sessions will focus on some of the industry's most pressing issues, including energy security, refining, gas development, logistics, infrastructure investment, digital innovation, cleaner fuels and the evolving policy environment. The exhibition will also showcase new technologies and solutions designed to improve efficiency and support sustainable growth across the sector.
As Africa pursues energy security, expands domestic refining capacity and accelerates investment in cleaner energy, OTL Africa 2026 comes at a defining moment for the industry with its combination of high-level discussions, commercial opportunities and industry collaboration. OTL Africa 2026 is set to remain one of Africa's premier gatherings for energy professionals.
