See below full press release from the Guyana Energy Conference & Supply Chain Expo:

The Guyana Energy Conference & Supply Chain Expo recently presented the University of Guyana (UG) with 50 exhibition tickets and 20 complimentary delegate passes to be used by the institution’s students and lecturers.

Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Energy Conference, Kiana Wilburg, presented the tickets and complimentary passes to the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paloma Mohamed Martin, on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, University of Guyana’s Turkeyen Campus.

In brief remarks, Chairman of the Guyana Energy Conference, Anthony J. Whyte, underscored the importance of this effort, stating that it is critical for the next generation to be given a front-row seat to Guyana’s development trajectory and the key players within that sphere.

“I believe it is our duty to ensure our youths have a place at this event, to not only learn as much as they can about Guyana’s oil and gas industry, but to also interact with some of the world’s leading conglomerates across 26 industries. These engagements can go a long way in helping our youths have a better understanding of the career path they may wish to take,” said Whyte.

The Chairman added, “I look forward to welcoming the UG cohort to what will be the largest and most dynamic conference in our history; may they take advantage of the learning opportunities that await them come February 18th to 21st, 2025.”

Vice-Chancellor Mohamed Martin expressed her appreciation to the Guyana Energy Conference for the tickets and complimentary passes, noting that students and lecturers are eager to participate in the event.

The Guyana Energy Conference team thanks the University of Guyana in advance for its participation in the region’s premier event. We remain committed to ensuring our platform is a source of inspiration and guidance for our future leaders.
