7 answeredThe summit takes place November 3–4, 2026.
The organizer states that more than 600 senior executives are expected.
The 2026 summit is held in Houston, Texas.
The organizer identifies senior executives, energy leaders and innovators, AI founders, startups, and investors as audiences.
Startups and founders get a direct route to investors through the co-located EnergyTech X forum and the venture speakers from bp Ventures, Aramco Ventures and Future Energy Ventures, and the sponsor list includes Anthropic, Esri and Informatica for buyers comparing data and AI vendors. Field engineers and hands-on data scientists would get less from it, since the audience is described as senior executives and the tracks lean toward strategy, finance and risk rather than technical workshops.
Attendees at energy-sector executive conferences in Houston usually wear business casual to business formal, with suits or blazers common among the corporate and finance crowd and open collars fine for technology vendors and startup founders.
