THE Secretariat of the Guyana Energy Conference & Supply Chain Expo (GECSCE) announced, on Thursday, that the fifth edition of the region’s premier energy and investment event, is scheduled for February 17-20, 2026, at the Guyana Marriott Hotel.

A press release said that, under the theme, “Building Tomorrow’s Future Today,” the conference will bring together global leaders, industry experts, investors, and innovators to explore actionable strategies for sustainable development, digital transformation, and resilient economies.

“The theme reflects the urgent need to take decisive action now to secure a sustainable and prosperous future for Guyana and the wider Caribbean region. Guyana stands at a pivotal moment in its development, with its rapidly growing energy sector and vast natural resources presenting unparalleled opportunities. However, harnessing these opportunities requires forward-thinking strategies that prioritise sustainability, innovation, and inclusive growth,” the release.

Key topics to be discussed under this theme include: Leveraging Guyana’s oil and gas resources to fund renewable energy projects and reduce carbon emissions; How technology can drive efficiency, transparency, and competitiveness in energy and supply chain sectors; Strengthening partnerships to ensure energy security and economic resilience across the Caribbean; Cross-border energy trade and partnerships; Public-Private Partnerships in energy and infrastructure; Global best practices in energy policy and regulation; and Updates on key projects in the energy sector and related sectors.

The release said that by focusing on these areas, the conference aims to bridge the gap between today’s challenges and tomorrow’s solutions, ensuring that Guyana’s growth is both transformative and enduring.

A PLATFORM FOR PROGRESS

Further, the release said that Mr. Anthony Whyte, Chairman of GECSCE, emphasised the conference’s role in shaping Guyana’s future.

“In just four years, this event has become the leading forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration. Our theme underscores the urgency of acting now to build resilient economies. Whether through digital transformation, sustainable energy, or regional partnerships, we must lay the groundwork today for tomorrow’s success,” he was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, Kiana Wilburg, CEO of GECSCE, highlighted the event’s global reach.

“Last year, we welcomed over 10,000 participants from 40+ countries, solidifying our position as the Caribbean’s premier energy and investment forum. In 2026, we will elevate this further, fostering partnerships that go beyond transactions to create lasting impact,” she said.

ENGAGING EVENTS FOR ALL

The release added that the 2026 conference will feature four dynamic side events designed to engage diverse audiences.

There are a 5k Energy Run/Walk to promote health and wellness alongside energy awareness, an essay competition to encourage youth to contribute ideas for a sustainable future, a Conference Village which will be a hub for networking, exhibitions, and interactive sessions and a Taste of Guyana Showcase which will seek to celebrate the nation’s rich culinary heritage.

These initiatives, introduced in 2025, have already garnered tremendous support and will return with even greater scale in 2026, the release emphasised.
