International Energy Week 2026 is the first major global energy event following COP30, where the world’s energy leaders gather to turn climate commitments into action. Backed by the Energy Institute and its 20,000-strong membership, International Energy Week offers a unique platform to tackle the most urgent challenges in energy: from grid resilience and supply chain risk, to financing the transition and scaling innovation.
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.

A Transformative Workshop for Women Leaders in Renewable Energy
Event Details
Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST
Format: Interactive Webinar
In the high-stakes world of clean energy, technical expertise gets you a seat at the table—but Executive Presence determines if you lead the conversation.
Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE) is proud to team up with Sage & Summit’s Marderé Birkill for a powerful 60-minute session designed to help you project confidence, clarity, and authority. Whether you are navigating complex human dynamics or leading a board through turbulent times, this webinar provides the tools to ensure your voice isn’t just heard, but followed.
Why Attend?
For many women in technical and leadership roles, "presence" can feel like a missing piece—not due to a lack of skill, but because traditional leadership signals weren't always designed with women in mind.
This session tackles the presence gap head-on. Grounded in research and rich with real-world insight, Marderé will guide you through practical strategies to lead with authenticity in the rooms that shape our energy future.
In this session, you will learn to:
Master the 3 Core Elements of Leadership Presence: Build immediate trust and credibility with any audience.
Navigate High-Stakes Moments: Learn to manage interruptions and master the art of "speaking last" while still driving the outcome.
Lead Authentically: Blend emotional intelligence with strategic communication to energize every room you enter.
Meet Your Speaker: Marderé Birkill
