EAGE DIGITAL 2020

30 November - 3 December 2020 | ONLINE

Conference Update - 05.10.20

Upon consultation with our stakeholders, we have decided to organize EAGE DIGITAL 2020 fully online from 30 November to 3 December 2020.

The decision has been made in light of the continued global health concerns and the travel and quarantine restrictions which remain in most countries to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Over the past months the industry has seen an accelerated push towards digital transformations and the recognition of greater efficiencies, productivity and new opportunities. EAGE DIGITAL 2020 will serve as a key forum for highlighting the science, technologies and business strategies driving this transformation.

The virtual delivery of our first event focused on Digital Transformation is almost serendipitous and we look forward to welcoming you online!


Conference Update - 09.03.20

Upon reviewing the situation and based on local advice regarding COVID-19, EAGE has decided to postpone EAGE Digital 2020 until December 2020. 

This postponement, while unfortunate, gives us the opportunity to pursue an even higher quality in our technical programme, exhibition and extended activities. We warmly invite you to join us in December for a fantastic event, which will still be hosted at the Austria Centre in Vienna. The new dates will be announced shortly. 

Please note: this postponement does not have any bearing on any other EAGE related event. Each event is judged on a case-by-case basis. As of now only a very limited number of events are affected and we fully expect the majority of our events to run uninterrupted throughout the year. 

We look forward to meeting you this December in Vienna.


Coronavirus Update - 06.03.20

EAGE would like to make clear that we are carefully monitoring the possible impact of any further spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) on all our scheduled events. Our first priority is the health and welfare of the wider EAGE community. Based on the advice of the World Health Organization, as well as appropriate national and local authorities, EAGE has thus far been broadly unaffected by the outbreak, with relatively little disruption to our global operations. 

Regarding our First Digitalization Conference and Exhibition in Vienna, we advise that as of now EAGE will go ahead with this event based on the information made available by the WHO and local authorities. We look forward to hosting you at this exciting event! 

Please be assured that should anything change regarding the event, we will immediately reach out to our attendees.  

The WHO has provided a series of guidelines on hygiene that might be helpful for those attending the event. You can find these guidelines here: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public
