Two days. Eight themes. The whole energy system.

The 2027 program is built around the technologies, capital and policy that will shape energy over the next decade. The full agenda will be announced in the coming months.

Program Framework

How the two days fit together.

Day one sets the strategic picture. Day two goes deep on technology and operations. Both days run alongside the exhibition and Tech Demo Corner. Framework subject to change.

MorningOpening and leadership keynotes on energy security and competitiveness
MiddayCEO and investor panels: LNG, export markets and capital allocation
AfternoonInternational delegation roundtables and pre-arranged B2B meetings
EveningInnovation Mixer: cocktail reception and networking

Day 2

Technology & Operations

What is working in production today, from AI and automation to emissions technology, power and new fuels.

MorningAI, data and digital operations: expert panels and case studies
MiddayInnovation Spotlight: emerging startups present to industry and investors
AfternoonDecarbonization, power and grid, hydrogen and nuclear sessions
