The Middle East Gas Conference 2026 will bring together senior leaders from independent oil companies, national oil companies (NOCs), international partners and technology providers to examine the development of gas infrastructure across the region.

The conference will take place on November 18, 2026, at the Waldorf Astoria DIFC in Dubai, UAE, under the theme “Powering progress through partnership: Advancing gas infrastructure across the Middle East.”

The event comes as gas demand continues to rise across the Middle East while global energy systems undergo significant changes. 

According to the organisers, regional producers are increasing investment in infrastructure, expanding cross-border networks and strengthening partnerships with international stakeholders to support long-term energy security.

The conference will focus on practical approaches to developing integrated gas systems, with discussions expected to examine the role of collaboration, investment frameworks and infrastructure development in supporting the region’s gas market.

The organisers said the event will explore how greater cooperation between regional producers, international companies and technology providers can unlock new opportunities and contribute to a more connected and resilient gas sector.

The conference will provide a platform for industry leaders to discuss infrastructure priorities and investment opportunities while examining the partnerships needed to support the development of regional gas networks.

With gas continuing to play a role in the Middle East’s energy mix, the event is expected to address how infrastructure development and cross-border cooperation can support the region’s evolving energy requirements and long-term market development.
