About the event:
As global geopolitics grow increasingly volatile and energy demand surges to unprecedented levels, the path to net zero has never been more complex.
International Energy Week 2026 will explore the critical questions shaping the future of energy:
How will we meet soaring global demand while accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future?
How do we safeguard energy access and grid resilience amid geopolitical conflict and market disruption? What is being done to manage supply chain risk?
What role will policy and innovation play in unlocking new growth and stability? Are the current market mechanisms fit for purpose?
Do we have the skills, capabilities and talent to drive the energy transition? How can we ensure our sector best reflects the society it serves?
Amidst the challenges lie extraordinary opportunities. From emerging technologies to transformative partnerships, International Energy Week 2026 will spotlight the innovations and strategic shifts redefining the global energy landscape.
Join the world’s energy leaders as we chart a course through uncertainty toward a more secure, equitable, and sustainable energy future.

THE 3rd ANNUAL ADVANCING WOMEN IN CONSERVATION SUMMIT WILL TAKE PLACE IN 2025 BRITISH COLUMBIA!
When: April 4-6, 2025
Where: Vancouver Airport Marriott, 7571 Westminster Highway, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
Though well represented in volunteering, education and entry-level work in the field of conservation, you’ll find less women holding positions of authority at a level where decision making occurs. In fact, in most rooms where conservation decisions are being made, you’ll find women are the minority.
The Advancing Women in Conservation initiative aims not only to support the advancement of women into leadership roles, but to foster culture of respect for women working in these roles, seeking to empower and develop women as leaders within the conservation community.
AWIC is a chance for women from all fields conservation (NGO, government, academia, industry, etc) from all over Canada to come together to address challenges, discuss solutions, enhance leadership skills, and develop a strong, nurturing community for women working in a field where the roles of women have been traditionally downplayed.
