WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
“We are pleased that Doha will be hosting the 20th World Petroleum Congress in 2011. It is long overdue that the Congress should be held in the region where the majority of the world’s petroleum resources are based. With the strong commitment and support from the government of Qatar, we look forward to a truly historic event for the petroleum industry in 2011.”
Dr. Randall G. Gossen,
President of the World Petroleum Council, congratulating Qatar on its selection as host of the 2011 event
"The combination of Qatar’s passion and commitment to excel in the future direction of our industry, their focus on becoming a global knowledge leader, and the outstanding facilities of the Qatar National Convention Centre make it a vibrant, exciting choice to host our 20th World Petroleum Congress in 2011.”
Dr Pierce Riemer, Director General

“Doha has very good access from Europe, Asia and Africa, only six-hours flight time. This means reduced travel costs and down time. Knowing that the Qatar National Convention Centre is managed by one of the world’s largest venue management groups, AEG Ogden, also gives our conference committees the confidence that the Centre will deliver the service standards that we have already experienced from their other venues in Malaysia and Australia.” Dr Robb Stanley, International Organising Committee
