CERAWeek by S&P Global 2026 to Convene Energy CEOs, Government Officials and Business and Technology Leaders in Houston, March 23-27 in Oil & Companies News 20/02/2026 Energy industry leaders, experts, government officials and policymakers, as well as leaders from the technology, financial and industrial communities will convene March 23-27 in Houston for the 44th annual gathering of CERAWeek by S&P Global—the world’s preeminent energy conference. CERAWeek 2026 Convergence and Competition: Energy, Technology and Geopolitics will explore ideas and strategies for a world where energy markets are increasingly entwined with new and existing technologies—even as geopolitical rivalries and economic competition fray alliances and fracture supply chains. Chaired by Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global and author of The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations, CERAWeek 2026 will spotlight the breakthroughs, cross-industry connections and powerful partnerships that can accelerate the transformation of the global energy system. And it will confront the challenges. “Change is inescapable,” said Yergin. “The global energy landscape—and to a large extent the entire global economy—is being fundamentally reshaped by the dual forces of convergence and competition. The race for AI is fusing the energy and technology industries like never before, bringing into sharp relief the need to align energy expansion with sustainable economic growth. “Yet, the potential for collaboration and innovation is increasingly matched by the risk for collision and conflict in a world marked by geopolitical rivalry, tariffs and fragmented supply chains. Reconciling an increasingly complex world with the growing demand for energy that is stable, secure and affordable is a complex reality that CERAWeek 2026 will tackle when global energy leaders meet in Houston.” CERAWeek 2026 Key Themes The CERAWeek 2026 conference program will explore key themes related to: Politics, Economics, Trade and Supply Chains – How the global energy landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation, defined by rising geopolitical competition, tariffs, fragmented supply chains and an expanding definition of energy security.
