What is the Balkans Summit?It is the only event focusing on the region’s oil and gas potential and business opportunities, with full Official Support and Endorsement from all Balkans Governments, and the major Oil and Gas companies operating in Greece, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romania and Bulgaria. The Summit has an excellent reputation among the IOCs and Governments as it has been the renowned platform for networking and facilitating business in the region.

What is new this year?Last year’s sell-out event included important announcements being made at the Summit; 300 delegates and 70 IOCs attending, and an exclusive workshop on the Adriatic Sea led by Spectrum and the Montenegrin Ministry of Economy.
This year, IRN will host a Black Sea focused Workshop, with limited places for you to update your knowledge on the geology of offshore Black Sea countries, current licensing opportunities and latest development plans. You will also be informed of details around the Adriatic countries.
With Albania opening up 13 blocks for exploration, Croatia having succeeded in securing top oil operators for their offshore blocks, Montenegro deciding on the open door results, and Greece a step away from closing their licensing round, you will benefit from the latest and exclusive coverage of developments in the region.
