The World Future Energy Summit (WFES) held in Abu Dhabi is a high-level event bringing in leading experts on climate change and the world of sustainable energy.
WFES provides an ideal networking event for industry leaders, investors, scientists, specialists, policymakers and researchers to discuss the challenges of rising energy demand and actions to achieve a cleaner and more sustainable future for the world.
Running over 4 days with over 30 individual conference sessions, the summit has over 200 international speakers who will address the latest developments in future energy strategy, policy and technology. Royalty, CEO's, scientists, delegates, government institutions, and investors are all expected among the predicted 17,000 in attendance.
What makes the summit stand out--aside from the fact it's held in the oil capital of the world, and boasts friendlier seasonal weather than, say, the Scandinavian countries--is that it appears to be promoted (and sponsored) by both climate change advocates and fossil fuel interests alike. Let's face it, oil companies know there is money to be found in renewable energy.
About WFES:
In April 2006, Abu Dhabi took a bold and historic decision to embrace renewable and sustainable energy solutions by launching Masdar, a global cooperative platform dedicated to finding and deploying solutions to some of the mankind’s most pressing issues: energy security, climate change and truly sustainable human development.
As a result, WFES was hosted by Masdar for the first time, and now enters its third year.

Of course the question that remains is the same one that lurks around the United Nations' December climate conference in Copenhagen: will any tangible results come from these meetings and lectures and exhibitions?
