ExxonMobil is again title sponsor for 4th edition of Guyana Energy and Supply Chain Expo

ExxonMobil Guyana is again title sponsor for the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo (GECSCE) for the fourth consecutive year.
This flagship event, to be held from February 18 to 21, 2025 at the Guyana Marriott Hotel under the theme “Connecting the Dots: Integrating the Future”, would undoubtedly attract an unprecedented gathering of regional and international Heads of State, industry experts, and international innovators; and is anticipated to attract more than 5,000 delegates, feature more than 180 booths, and host more than 70 distinguished speakers.
Commenting on the importance of this continued support, ExxonMobil Guyana President Alistair Routledge has said, “ExxonMobil Guyana is proud to sponsor the Guyana Energy and Supply Chain Expo. We are committed to Guyana for the long term, and (are) focused on delivering maximum value to the Government and people of Guyana. This annual gathering provides a valuable global spotlight on the rapid development taking place here, as well as a constructive forum for foreign investors looking to help drive the country’s continued transformation.”

Chairman of the GECSEC, Anthony Whyte, has said, “This partnership represents a major milestone for our conference. ExxonMobil Guyana has been a strategic partner for this event since its inception. Their involvement not only underscores the importance of this event, but also highlights the critical role that Guyana plays in the global energy landscape. Their support is a testament to the potential and promise that our region holds in the energy sector.

“With ExxonMobil Guyana’s sponsorship, we are poised to deliver a conference that will foster meaningful dialogue, promote innovation, and drive sustainable growth in Guyana and the wider Caribbean.”
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Energy Conference, Kiana Wilburg, has also expressed gratitude for ExxonMobil Guyana’s continued support of this prestigious event. “The Guyana-ExxonMobil relationship has been marked by notable achievements in not only production optimization, but in helping to set new standards for the industry. Guyanese authorities, for their part, are working assiduously to ensure the sector is armed with industry-leading standards via a modernized legislative and regulatory system.
“As for ExxonMobil, it has been a crucial partner in helping Guyana unlock world-class resources at industry-leading timelines. Together, this record-breaking partnership has yielded over US$5 billion in revenues for the country.”
Wilburg has said that as these revenues accumulate in the nation’s Natural Resources Fund (NRF), the Guyana Energy Conference will continue to support discussions on how these resources can become a springboard for sustainability and prosperity for generations to come.
For the 2025 conference, several critical topics would be examined, including the role of women in energy, and the importance of breaking barriers. Organizers would also place on the agenda the identification of solutions for supply chain optimization and the financing of sustainable projects with assistance from partners like the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Strategies for diversification, climate resilience, and local content development would also be discussed.
More than 80 companies are already slated to attend this conference, which is set to continue its leadership as a meaningful platform for connecting industry professionals, Government officials, investors and experts in the energy sector.
