With less than 24 hours to go the Cape Town International Conference Centre is a buzz of activity as the finishing touches are made for tomorrow’s show opening.

The Cape Industries Showcase 2016 (CIS) opens at 10am on Tuesday, September 6, with more than 100 exhibitors taking part alongside a three day conference.

CIS 2016 oversees three key areas: Oil & Gas Africa 2016 is the sole engineering supply chain expo serving the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors in sub-Saharan Africa.

Maritime & Offshore Marine Africa is focused on shipping and maritime commerce, safety and security, offshore exploration, shipping and fishing.

Cape Logistics attracts exhibitors focused on oil & gas movement alongside refrigeration, storage and transportation supplies and services.

“Buildup has gone very well with some well-designed stands emerging. Everything is on track as we look forward to welcoming visitors and delegates tomorrow,” said Brad Hook, Commercial Director of the organiser dmg ems Africa.

CIS 2016 will see the launch of a new conference this year. “The summit brings together industry leaders, government entities and trade organisations to share latest industry trends, insight, opportunities and challenges in a lively format of debate and discussion,” said Christine Davidson, vice president of dmg ems Africa.

Day one of The OGP Summit 2016 offers a range of insight from an analysis of African investment opportunities, current regulation as well as a presentation examining South Africa’s shale gas reserves. Conference speakers include David Van Der Spuy, Conventional Resource Evaluation Manager at Petroleum Agency SA, who offers An Overview of sub-Saharan Africa’s oil & gas landscape, and Laura Peinke, Executive: Business Development, Saldanha Bay Idz, who talks about optimising the financing and investments in the oil & gas industry.

She believes that the South African oil & gas sector is one of the largest potential growth areas for the country’s economy.

All of the conference sessions over the three days attract Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certification enabling participants to upgrade their skills and knowledge under the recognised CPD programme.
