The Iraq Development Program has an enviable track record in providing a unique platform for Iraqi ministers and deputy ministers to meet with high level executives from the international business community through its meetings-based event structure.

Iraq Development Program summits look to deconstruct the traditional 'lecture and listen' notion of business conferencing, placing more of a focus on the importance of face-to-face interaction with the key business leaders and decision makers.

The aim of this event model is to create a networking model that truly facilitates global business interaction and will prove to be of benefit both to the people of Iraq and to the many global corporations in attendance

In collaboration with the Iraqi Government, the Iraq Development Program (IDP) is proud to announce the official Iraq Oil, Gas, Petrochemical & Electricity Summit. For the most important sectors of the Iraqi economy, this historic landmark event will be the first of its kind since the formation of the new Unity Government.

The key decision makers from the Iraqi Government will be participating with the full intent of establishing relationships and entering into contractual negotiations with all international operators wishing to be part of both the upstream and downstream sectors.

Government representation will include the Ministers, Deputy Ministers and Director Generals. Each Ministry will also be represented by the respective head of the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO). Other leading international bodies will be in attendance, such as UNIDO and the World Bank. The Iraqi Government will also be making direct personal invitations to GCC and international energy and oil ministers.

Each Iraqi Government Ministry will be presenting details of their key projects, contracts and areas of investment.
