OMC Med Energy Conference & Exhibition

What OMC Med Energy Conference & Exhibition does

OMC Med Energy Conference & Exhibition is a biennial international energy conference and exhibition organized under a consortium structure by OMC S.c.r.l. and IES S.c.r.l., two Italian private entities acting as joint controllers. Founded in 1993 in Ravenna, Italy, the event was originally launched as the Offshore Mediterranean Conference & Exhibition by local Oil & Gas operators to promote the Ravenna energy district and has grown over 30 years into the primary Mediterranean energy forum. The 2025 edition drew 15,154 attendees from 30 countries, 410+ exhibitors across 21,100+ square meters of exhibition space at the Pala de André venue, with 3 plenary sessions, 11 panels, and 151 technical sessions spanning Carbon Neutrality, Operational Excellence, and Technologies and Applications.

The core product platform comprises three pillars: the Conference (strategic panels, plenaries, and 151+ technical sessions), the Exhibition (a 21,000+ sqm trade floor with B2B matchmaking), and the Innovation Room (a youth-engagement program anchored by Accenture as Innovation Sponsor). Supporting offerings include the Presentation Hub (paid exhibitor speaking slots priced at €1,200 for 20 minutes and €3,000 for 50 minutes), tiered sponsorship packages (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Innovation), exhibition space rentals (€495-€610/sqm across raw, shell, and turnkey configurations), conference proceedings distributed via OnePetro, the Call for Papers program, and a free Student Access Programme.

Revenue is generated across five streams: delegate registration (full conference, student, press, and group bookings at 10% discount for 5+ registrations), exhibition space booking (€495-€610/sqm plus a €690 registration fee and €110 insurance fee per company), sponsorship packages, conference proceedings sales through OnePetro, and Presentation Hub rentals. Customers are segmented into four primary groups: Energy Industry Professionals (operators, suppliers, corporations, start-ups), Academia and Research Institutions (universities, researchers, students), Government and Policymakers (ministries, regulators, port authorities), and Exhibitors and Sponsors. The event is supported by founding partners (Assorisorse, Camera di Commercio di Ferrara e Ravenna, ROCA) and associated companies spanning major energy players (Eni, Saipem, Snam, Shell, TotalEnergies, Baker Hughes, RINA, Rosetti Marino, Schlumberger, Halliburton), with official patronage from Italian ministries MIMIT and MASE alongside Regione Emilia-Romagna and Comune di Ravenna.
