KIOGE - Kazakhstan Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition

What KIOGE - Kazakhstan Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition does

KIOGE (Kazakhstan Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition) is a biennial international oil and gas exhibition and conference held at the Atakent International Exhibition Centre in Almaty, Kazakhstan. First held in 1993, it is now approaching its 30th edition in 2026 and operates as the leading trade event for the Caspian and Central Asian oil and gas sector. The event is organized by Iteca (Kazakhstan) in partnership with ITE Group (UK) and ICA Group, and is endorsed by the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan, KazMunayGas, Kazenergy, and other national industry associations. KIOGE carries UFI (Global Association of the Exhibition Industry) approved status, signaling compliance with international exhibition standards.

The event's core offering centers on two interconnected products: a multi-section exhibition floor featuring oil and gas equipment, services, and technology providers, and a professional conference program covering exploration, production, transportation, and refining. Supporting services include delegate registration, exhibitor logistics (visa support, cargo delivery, customs), post-show reports, and a media centre. The ITECA.EVENTS digital platform manages exhibitor accounts and visitor e-invitations. While KIOGE is a branded event rather than a separate legal entity, the organization has 6 employees and operates with a direct sales model through Iteca and its international partners.

KIOGE's revenue model is transaction- and sponsorship-based, drawing from four streams: exhibition stand booking fees, delegate registration fees, tiered sponsorship packages (General, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Hotel, and Information Partner), and marketing/advertising instruments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is entirely enterprise-level, comprising major international oil companies (Tengizchevroil, Shell, CNPC, Lukoil, CPC), national oil companies (KazMunayGas, KazTransGas), and the broader supplier ecosystem serving Caspian upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
