What is CERAWeek?
About CERAWeek
Chaired by Daniel Yergin, CERAWeek is recognized as the foremost annual gathering in the energy sector, rated among the top five “corporate leader conferences” worldwide. This premier event convenes over 1620 C-Suite executives, 84 ministers and top officials, and 365 media representatives, with more than 10,000 participants from over 2,350 companies across 89 countries for dialogue on the agenda ahead as the world enters a new era of energy transition.
CERAWeek 2026, Convergence and Competition: Energy, Technology and Geopolitics, will focus on the challenges ahead for energy security, power demand, markets, infrastructure, supply chains, policy directions and the advance of technology including AI – and what this means for all aspects of the industry and beyond.
Through a diverse set of programs and platforms CERAWeek highlights the linkages of these topics across industries and showcase the partnerships and collaborative models that are transforming energy.
CERAWeek 2026 : Convergence and Competition: Energy, Technology and Geopolitics
In an era when energy markets and existing and new technologies are increasingly entwined, it is essential to align energy expansion with sustainable economic growth. This comes at a time when convergence as well as competition are reshaping the global energy industry and supply chains. Convergence is front and center as AI is yoking together the energy and tech industries in a way that has never happened before, making them mutually dependent and creating challenges for both. Regional energy markets are fusing into global markets, and metals and minerals are becoming an essential part of the energy spectrum. But competition is also having profound effect. Geopolitical rivalries and economic competition are fraying alliances, fracturing supply chains and partitioning energy markets that have been integrated globally for decades. Economic nationalism and trade barriers are complicating corporate decision-making and investment choices. New energy sources and new technologies are competing to fuel the vehicles of the future and provide power for a world that is rapidly electrifying. All this is why the theme of “convergence and competition” will drive the dialogue at CERAWeek 2026 and inform the thinking that comes out of it.
Executive Conference
The Executive Conference provides an integrated framework for understanding what’s ahead for global energy markets and geopolitics. Corporate executives and senior government officials convene to address the defining trends and critical issues that are shaping the energy landscape. It is here where the worlds of energy, finance, manufacturing, mobility, technology, and policy converge. Through high-level dialogues and a global platform to share strategic visions, business leaders and policymakers advance ideas that will define the future of industry.
Innovation Agora
The Innovation Agora is an open marketplace for the exchange of insights and solutions on energy innovation and emerging technologies. It is also a forum to learn and connect, including an exciting program with many sessions and formats designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue and stimulate new thinking and learning. The program covers a wide array of transformational technology platforms ranging from digitalization, AI, analytics, and connectivity to robotics, blockchain, additive manufacturing and mobility, and including a continued focus on new technologies for decarbonization. The Agora convenes a remarkable community of technologists, investors, thought leaders, government officials and corporate innovators—all dedicated to creating new pathways and solutions for our energy future.
Partner Programs
Partner Programs are designed to promote high-level interaction among senior executives and officials and build communities to address and share learning on the most important challenges facing the energy future; and programs that foster engagement by emerging leaders and communities.
CERAWeek History
In 1983, Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Daniel Yergin and James Rosenfield. The energy research and consulting firm became known for its critical knowledge and independent analysis on energy markets, geopolitics, industry trends, technology and strategy.
Each year, CERA clients gathered for the executive conference where they gained insight into the energy future while connecting with their peers. Over time, the program was expanded to five days, covering the full energy spectrum and the event was renamed CERAWeek.
More than 40 years later, CERAWeek by S&P Global has become the world’s premier energy event. In 2017, this executive gathering expanded to include the Innovation Agora to advance the energy innovation ecosystem.
If you are wondering how much it costs to attend CERAWeek, the cost is $9500 from December 2, 2025 to January 19, 2026. Then the price goes to $11,000 from January 20-March 26, 2026.
