It is my honor to extend a warm welcome to all of you for the 5th EAGE Global Energy Transition Conference & Exhibition (GET2024), which will take place in the vibrant city of Rotterdam.
Rotterdam, renowned for its forward-thinking approach and commitment to sustainability, serves as an ideal backdrop for our discussions on the critical themes surrounding the global energy transition. As we gather, we will delve into the core topics that shape our industry’s future, not only within the Netherlands, but also across borders and continents.
Our chosen conference theme, “Accelerating the Path to a Sustainable Energy Future,” encapsulates the essence of our collective mission. It underscores the urgency of our actions and emphasizes the pivotal role played by the EAGE community in shaping societies worldwide. Together, we are architects of change, stewards of innovation, and guardians of the well-being of generations to come.
Allow me to highlight two fundamental imperatives:
In my capacity as a board member of EBN (Energy Beheer Nederland), I witness firsthand the cacophony of voices in the media—each claiming expertise, each advocating for a different path. I am convinced that our collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and commitment to sustainability will move us ahead.
GET2024 provides a unique platform to engage, interact, and exchange ideas. Let us connect, challenge assumptions, and lay the groundwork for a resilient future. Anticipate a robust Technical Program—one that bridges disciplines, integrates knowledge, and helps to set a direction toward global decarbonization.
As we gather in Rotterdam, I look forward to engaging in lively discussions that will influence the field of geosciences in our dynamic and constantly changing world. Together, we will address challenges, capitalize on opportunities, and collaboratively build a lasting and sustainable future.
Welcome to GET2024!
Warm regards,

A world as a better place for all is a mission that drives us to create a space where all professionals, geoscientists, and industry leaders can share their knowledge, accentuating the importance of sustainable energy sources and transitioning to low-carbon options.
As we strive to be a leading voice in this crucial transition from oil and gas to green energy solutions, we recognize that this would not be possible without our valued members. With their contributions, we will be connecting and sharing knowledge on key topics such as the use of innovative technologies, decarbonization, renewables, and energy efficiency in support of climate action. We will also emphasize the contributions of subsurface professionals and their essential role in shaping the future of energy.
Our program has been carefully curated with high-quality topics, speakers, and sessions highlighting multidisciplinary geoscience and engineering approaches. There will be an expanded programme with four sub-conferences covering Wind Energy, Hydrogen and Energy Storage, Geothermal Energy, and Carbon Capture & Storage – each providing insights into popular areas within the industry.
We aim to take this conference to the next level and make it a premier meeting space by expanding our program and incorporating strategic and regulatory sessions. Besides informing you about advancements in the field, we want to give industries an opportunity to reach a vibrant audience.
On behalf of the entire team, we welcome you to enjoy this information-packed experience. Together, we can build a movement towards more sustainable energy solutions for a healthier planet.
