Guyana Energy Conference 2026 - Building Tomorrow's Future Today

Guyana is making history, from a rapidly expanding oil and gas sector to world-class mining operations and ambitious infrastructure projects, Guyana is certainly cementing its position as a regional economic powerhouse. When industries move this fast, protection cannot be an afterthought. That's why Harris Paints, in partnership with AkzoNobel's International® Paint, is excited to be on the ground again this year, at the Guyana Energy Conference & Supply Chain Expo, February 17-20, 2026, at the Guyana Marriott Hotel in Georgetown.

Building Tomorrow's Future Today

The Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo is an annual event uniting industry leaders, policymakers and stakeholders to explore developments and opportunities in energy and supply chains. It aims to foster forward-looking discussions, bridge gaps and connect ideas across borders. In the fifth edition of this premier regional event, over 10,000 participants from more than 40 countries will come together under the theme "Building Tomorrow's Future Today." This event is not just a conference, but the place where Guyana's energy future takes centre stage. For industries operating in some of the most demanding environments on earth, that future requires coatings that won’t compromise.

Whether the industry is Oil & Gas, Marine, Water & Wastewater, Mining or Power Generation, the assets involved face relentless challenges such as susceptibility to corrosion, extreme temperatures, chemical exposure and the constant pressure to minimize downtime. As the authorized distributor of International® Paint, Harris Paints understands these demands, and the value of a global partner in protective coatings operating across the globe for nearly 150 years.

World-Class Protection, Proven Performance

Renowned for our world-class products, behind every coating that we provide is a team of trusted experts, as well as a legacy of innovation. International® Paint is more than a supplier – they are a partner in asset integrity. Our high-performance protective coatings are engineered specifically for harsh industrial environments, ensuring your operations keep moving and your investments stay protected.

Innovation That Makes a Difference

Sustainability is deeply embedded in what we strive to achieve and in how we operate. AkzoNobel is ranked #1 in sustainability indices like Sustainalytics, and sits in the top 1% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis. That commitment shows up in breakthrough products like Chartek ONE from International® - a one-coat, mesh-free fire protection application that reduces material usage and contamination risk without compromising on health, safety, or performance.

AkzoNobel’s International® brand is now a partner in RightShip’s Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program, reaffirming its dedication to safety, sustainability, and innovation in maritime operations. Under the partnership, International®’s Intersleek biocide-free, foul-release coatings are recognized for their ability to deliver measurable energy-saving and emissions-reduction benefits within RightShip’s GHG rating framework. Intersleek 1100SR, a class-verified solution, has supported shipowners in reducing over 47 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions and saving more than US$9 billion in fuel costs over the past decade.

Fewer coats are not just economical, they also mean faster application, lower environmental impact, and less room for error - it's the kind of innovation that doesn't just meet today's standards, but also protects tomorrow's future!

The Guyana Energy Conference 2026

The Guyana Energy Conference isn't just about presentations and panels - it's real conversations that lead to real solutions. Whether it’s the planning of new offshore platforms, the upgrading of water treatment facilities, expanding mining operations, or maintaining a fleet, we are excited to discuss it all.

Harris Paints and International® Paint are well-positioned to support Guyana's industrial growth with proven world-class coating solutions. Our expertise spans the critical sectors driving this nation's economy and we're looking forward to engaging about our solid support of this work. Guyana's trajectory is remarkable, and the industries powering that growth deserve coatings that can keep pace.
