The South African Energy Association Board (SANEA) is pleased to announce that the association will once again host a conference in 2022. SANEA will host its first ever hybrid event on 31 August – 1 September 2022 and our members and stakeholders will be able to attend either in person, at the Gallagher Convention Centre, or virtually from wherever they may be located without having to travel to Gauteng. We invite thought leaders, from across the energy sector, to propose a paper or presentation as outlined below which supports this year’s theme ‘IGNITE – Energy for All’.
The SANEA Board’s decision to host another conference in 2022 was made after the resounding success of SANEA’S 2021 conference. Held virtually it was supported by key energy sector leaders and stakeholders who conversed and deliberated the theme – UNLOCK: Unlocking the possibilities of energy sustainability and celebrated 2021 World Energy Day, which focused on Unlocking Energy Sustainability in South Africa.
For 2022 we have selected the theme of ‘IGNITE – Energy for All’ – moving to a more action-oriented focus that is required to deliver the significant outcomes to advance the energy sector. Last year we hosted the conference to coincide with World Energy Day celebrations which normally takes place on the 3rd Friday of October each year. This year, given the other energy conferences being hosted in South Africa during this time, we made the decision to host our conference on 31 August to 1 September 2022, where the important discussions taking place at our event will lead to another event which we will host on World Energy Day!
