About
Energy & AI Conference and Exhibition is a two-day event organised by West Africa Exhibitions and Conferences (WAECON), an Abuja-based events company. Its theme is how artificial intelligence and digital technology are reshaping the energy sector. It addresses energy companies, power and utility firms, oil and gas operators, regulators, investors, engineering firms, research institutions and technology providers. The conference takes place on 13 and 14 October 2027 at the Abuja Continental Hotel in Abuja, Nigeria. It pairs a conference programme with an exhibition floor where companies present products and services. The organisers expect a delegate audience in the low hundreds, which suits focused discussion among sector decision-makers. Topics include AI in energy operations, smart grids and digital utilities, renewables, digital transformation in oil and gas, data centres, and cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. Delegates can attend technical talks and expert sessions on energy investment, financing, policy and regulation. Exhibitors show technologies in a dedicated showcase area. Networking time supports partnerships between operators, governments and technology firms. As Nigeria and the wider West African region expand power supply and modernise their grids, this energy and AI conference in Abuja offers a regional forum for applying data and automation to energy challenges.

Travel questions? See Good to know in the travel guide below.
Planning your trip to Abuja
Contains sponsored linksAbuja in mid-October is catching the tail of the rainy season: warm days around 30°C, greener hills than at any other time of year, and the odd late-afternoon storm. The Energy and AI Conference and Exhibition runs at the Abuja Continental Hotel, close to the Maitama and Wuse business districts, where federal ministries, embassies and energy regulators sit within a short drive. For attendees working on power, grid and data policy, that proximity to government is the city's real draw.
Getting there & around
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV) is Abuja's gateway, with direct flights from several African and Middle Eastern hubs and frequent domestic links to Lagos and Port Harcourt. The airport sits roughly 40 km west of the centre; a pre-booked hotel transfer or registered taxi typically takes 35–50 minutes, longer at rush hour. Many international travellers connect via Lagos, so allow time for a domestic transfer if you are not flying direct.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Mobile coverage around Maitama and Wuse is good, but buying a local SIM involves registration paperwork that is awkward on a short trip. An eSIM set up before you fly gets you online as soon as you land at ABV. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Aso Rock. The 400-metre granite monolith rising behind the Three Arms Zone is Abuja's defining landmark and visible from much of the city. Access to the rock itself is restricted, so view it from Millennium Park or a hotel rooftop, ideally in early-evening light after conference sessions end.
Millennium Park. Abuja's largest public park in Maitama is a short ride from the venue and a calm place for a walk between sessions. Paths, lawns and a river run through it; an hour is enough, and late afternoon is cooler and quieter than midday.
Abuja National Mosque and National Christian Centre. These two landmark places of worship face each other across the Independence Avenue area and show off the capital's planned civic architecture. Exterior views are easy on a drive past; visitors wanting to enter should dress modestly and check visiting times locally, avoiding Friday midday prayers at the mosque.
Jabi Lake. On the western side of the city, Jabi Lake has a waterfront promenade and an adjacent shopping mall with restaurants, making it a relaxed evening option for a group dinner. Budget around two hours including travel from the Maitama area.
Good to know
How far is the Abuja Continental Hotel from the airport?
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport is about 40 km from central Abuja. Expect a 35–50 minute drive by pre-arranged transfer or registered taxi, more in peak traffic.
What is the weather like in Abuja in October?
October is the end of the rainy season, with warm days around 30°C and occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Pack light clothing and a compact umbrella.
Do I need a visa and cash for Nigeria?
Most foreign visitors need a Nigerian visa arranged before travel, so check requirements early. Hotels and larger businesses accept cards, but carrying some naira is useful for taxis and small purchases.
