Set in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from 11 October 2026 to 15 October 2026, WPC Energy 2026, the 25th WPC Energy Congress, has established itself as a key date for the sector. Bringing together professionals, researchers and decision-makers, it has become an important meeting point for the field. Running every year, it has settled into a rhythm the sector plans its year around. Drawing roughly 25000 attendees, it ranks among the larger gatherings of its kind. The action unfolds at Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center, easy to reach and built for events like this.
Set against the backdrop of Riyadh, WPC Energy 2026 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Between its air links and its local network, getting to and around Riyadh takes little planning. Lodging is easy to sort in Riyadh, with everything from conference hotels to smaller stays with local flavour. When the badge comes off, Riyadh keeps giving — good food, local colour and sights worth the detour. Coming from further afield, you will find Riyadh a convenient entry point to Saudi Arabia and the wider region.
Whether energy is your focus or you want the wider view, Energy, Smart Energy, Energy Industry, Energy Storage, Renewable Energy and Energy & Environment are covered from several angles. The format mixes main-stage keynotes with smaller, focused breakout tracks. Networking lounges and evening socials keep conversations going beyond the sessions. Covering 50,000 m², the exhibition halls give brands the space to showcase their full range. Nexd Experience, the team behind the event, keeps every element running to a high standard. Featured speakers include Pedro Miras (President, WPC Energy), Amin Nasser (President & CEO, Aramco) and Andrea Stegher (President, International Gas Union (IGU)), alongside others.
Few events pack so much insight, opportunity and inspiration into so few days. For strategists, builders and the teams behind them, WPC Energy 2026 offers a focused opportunity worth planning for.
