Energy Tech Review Conferences

The Data Driven Oil & Gas Conference explores how AI, analytics, machine learning, and operational data are transforming decision-making, asset performance, production optimization, and digital innovation across the industry.

The Data Driven Oil & Gas Conference 2026, held in Houston, Texas on September 1–2, is a premier global event focused on digital transformation in the energy sector, showcasing how advanced analytics, AI, and DataOps are reshaping oil and gas operations.The Data Driven Oil & Gas Conference 2026 brings together over 350 energy leaders, executives, and data scientists to explore how digital intelligence can optimize upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. The event emphasizes data-driven decision-making, predictive analytics, and AI-ready infrastructure to maximize asset performance and operational efficiency

Due to the complex geopolitical nature of gas/LNG sourcing and the long-term nature of gas transactions between buyers and sellers, it is commercially prudent for all those involved in this process to know and understand global gas & LNG supply and markets conditions, available methodologies for price determination and prevailing contract structures. A misjudgment in any of these areas could result in inappropriate sourcing decisions, significant adverse financial consequences and legal liabilities. This course has, therefore, been designed to enable the professionals in the gas sector and gas advisory services to make appropriate sourcing decision, construct gas/LNG contracts from a position of strength and knowledge in order to gain a competitive edge in the process.

Even without the rapid growth of EVs, our current power systems are in the midst of a disruptive transition towards cleaner, diversified and more flexible structures. If a transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EVs) is to be achieved, what will be the impact on these systems? What are the barriers to scale and which solutions (and hence market opportunities) will be essential? This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the multi-sector issues that must be understood and integrated, plus the competitive battles ahead, including: technology status and trends, management of electricity demand & supply, charging network players and competitors, consumer behavior influences.

We need new infrastructure. Roads, airports, schools, hospitals and housing: the list is enormous and growing. Yet severely limited budgets, economic uncertainty caused by volatile commodity prices, and deficits continue to prevent government at all levels from delivering the kinds of structural change that has always been needed. In response, some countries have developed successful PPP programmes. Merely grasping the concepts of PPP does not do justice to our great responsibility of having an ownership in the country’s future. We already know what we need to do, now is the time to really discover HOW.

The ‘hydrogen economy’ was first described 50 years ago, but failed to develop. Now hydrogen is making a comeback, with unprecedented momentum from both policymakers and industry amid a background of energy decarbonisation. Nevertheless, given its failure in the past, current investors and business developers in the sector are strongly advised to ensure they understand the complexities and competitive environments of the hydrogen landscape. This new course combines an excellent overview of the different elements of the clean hydrogen sector with a series of critical thinking and analysis exercises which provide clear guidance on market assessment requirements, including key opportunity and risk influences.

In the global marketplace of 2020s, both developed and developing economies urgently need to master the key techniques and models for transforming to renewable generation while strengthening the reliability of new energy markets and systems. These focus on adapting and negotiating the latest models for Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (RE PPAs) and on rapidly attracting new private investments in renewable energy sources. Unlike past fossil-fuel based Independent Power Project (IPP) models that featured standardized take-or-pay contracts – today’s renewable energy markets demand more innovative incentives to attract RE supply, conform to RE generation availability, ensure power system reliability, as well as more attractive and sustainable mixtures of fuel sources. Government power sector strategies are now struggling to choose among different practical incentives for new private investments in the renewable technologies including solar energy, wind power, bio-

As the world increasingly values responsible and ethical business practices, this course provides a comprehensive exploration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles alongside practical approaches to sustainability. Over 6 sessions, delegates will gain a full picture on how business models can define their purpose and legitimacy through social and environmental lens. Delegates will also examine the main sustainable finance instruments, the ICMA principles and standards established to promote transparency and integrity in the market, with a deep-dive into each instrument’s features, benefits, and applications. Through case studies and expert-led discussions, delegates will learn how to structure and evaluate ESG frameworks, integrate governance policies, adapt business models that prioritise social and environmental legitimacy, and design portfolio management aligned with net-zero principles.

A comprehensive, up-to-date and business-focused roadmap to success in delivering solar power growth, today and tomorrow. Attendees will gain a good understanding of the key factors from an integrated, multidisciplinary and commercial viewpoint, including: target market analysis, economic competitiveness, channels-to-market, financing influences and risk, project development processes, best practices and emerging technologies. The course schedule includes illustration of key project development considerations, including energy yield, financial and other simple calculations, along with the chance to discuss key planning and market environment considerations.

Defense Strategies Institute’s Data Centers & National Security Summit will convene senior leaders, top experts, and strategic decision makers from across the Commercial Sector, Federal Government, DoW, National Labs, and Academia for in-depth discussions on powering and securing critical data center infrastructure in support of national security. This forum aims to explore the technologies and strategies that ensure data centers operate efficiently and securely, with a focus on power management, cooling systems, and operational resilience.
