The World Energy Day Conference was culmination of the weeklong World Energy Day Celebrations  
held from 22nd to 26th of October this year. The two-day conference that took place on the 25th  
and 26th of October 2018 at the Best Western Meridian Hotel, brought together key players in the  
energy sector, visiting speakers from around the globe as well as corporates across various sectors  
of the economy, from both the public and private space. The conference was a success and saw the  
gathering of industry professionals from the region with an attendance of over 100 delegates. The  
conference sought create an invigorating space for these discussions amongst different industry  
players and to share knowledge with a view to yielding sustainable next steps. This event was the  
culmination of dedicated planning and preparation for all aspects, including programme development,  
accommodation and venue logistics, travel and event execution.

The WED conference was first held in 2016 as a half-day conference but has grown over the years to a  
fully-fledged two day conference. The holding of this annual conference is seen as a strategic activity  
in the energy space specifically corresponding to the need to provide a space for opinion leaders in the  
industry to provide thought leadership on energy matters in Kenya, and for delegates to find value in  
discussing issues pertaining the industry and providing suitable solutions that progress development.  
The conference was flagged off by the president of the Association of Energy Professionals Eastern  
Africa and had speakers from Uganda, Tanzania, and South Africa speak on key issues that will shape  
the future of energy in Africa.

The conference also served as an excellent platform to crown the winner of the Student Energy  
Challenge will be crowned. The student energy innovation challenge as one of the main activities is  
planned for students in colleges and universities in aspiration to nurture the next generation of energy  
enthusiasts. The eminent panel of judges with business acumen, innovation prowess and energy  
expertise, took part in evaluating and ranking the projects. The top three projects walked away with  
the prizes that included 3 months internship, mentorship, shopping vouchers, holiday experiences and  
cash prizes.
