FAQ: Virtual Event

What is a virtual event?

A virtual event is a type of event which is delivered entirely through an online platform. The virtual platform has various features enabling delegates to view, participate and meet virtually, such as live-feed video of speakers presenting, live chat functions and Q&A, etc.

Who should attend virtual event?

We invite participants from across the energy industry as well as representatives from companies seeking to enter the Iraqi energy market. We expect a high number of senior representatives from the Government, IOCs, NOCs, Service Companies, Finance and Legal sectors.
