About MOC 2024

MOC 2024 ran from 20 to 22 October 2024 at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Conference Center, as the official event of Egypt's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. It brought together ministers, senior government officials, international organisations, energy companies, technology providers and technical experts.

The programme mixed leadership plenaries with technical sessions. One plenary, “Fostering Alliances and Partnerships along the path of Mediterranean gas”, brought Egypt's Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Eng. Karim Badawi, together with Cyprus's Minister of Energy, Commerce and Industry, George Papanastasiou. In a technology featured session, SLB presented practical AI applications in the energy sector.

What Zain did

Zain ran the conference's production with one integrated team, from the first visuals to the last session:

  • Creative: event visuals and production design.
  • Branding: venue branding and wayfinding.
  • Production: stages, session rooms and sponsor areas.
  • Technology: AV, sound, lighting and interpretation.
  • Operations: registration, staffing and onsite support.

One visual language

Zain built the event's look into a single identity across digital and physical touchpoints: 2D event visuals and their adaptations, screen visuals, conference graphics and onscreen programme content. Stage, podiums, totems and the sponsor stand were modelled in 3D and approved before they were built.

On site

In the venue, the identity ran from the foyer to the main stage:

  • A main stage with a curved LED wall, lectern and panel seating.
  • 15 wayfinding totems, 2 m tall, guiding delegates to the auditorium, technical halls, business lounge and lunch.
  • 36 branded cubes and 4 podiums carrying the Ministry and MOC marks.
  • A sponsor stand for Eni Lubricants and IEOC.
  • Conference sound, main and session screens, stage and conference lighting, and an onsite crew with computers and printers.
