The largest by attendance and influence are CERAWeek (March, Houston), OTC (May, Houston), ADIPEC (November, Abu Dhabi), Gastech (September), and the World Petroleum Congress / WPC Energy (October, Riyadh). For North American deal-making and technical depth, NAPE (February), DUG Permian Basin (May), SEG-AAPG IMAGE (August), and SPE ATCE (October) anchor the year.

When and where is CERAWeek 2026?

CERAWeek 2026 runs March 23–27, 2026 at the Hilton Americas in Houston, Texas. It is widely regarded as the premier executive-level energy gathering.

When is OTC 2026?

The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2026 takes place May 4–7, 2026 at NRG Park in Houston. ModalPoint participated on the Ericsson AI panel at OTC 2026.

Which 2026 conferences focus on AI and data in oil and gas?

Data Driven Oil & Gas USA (June, Houston) is the most data/AI-centric event, while AI and digital-transformation tracks now appear across CERAWeek, ADIPEC, Gastech, and SPE ATCE. If you are evaluating AI governance for an energy company, our AI Compliance Checker maps which frameworks (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001) apply to your use case.

What are the major Permian Basin conferences in 2026?

Permian-focused 2026 events include DUG Permian Basin (May, Fort Worth), GPA Midstream Permian Training Day (June, Midland), Permian Power Conference (June, Midland), SPE Permian Basin Energy Conference (September, Midland), and the CO2 Conference (December, Midland).

Decisions you can defend.

AI is reshaping how oil & gas companies decide — what to buy, who to trust, how to operate. When AI starts driving decisions you can’t explain or defend, the risk isn’t theoretical — it’s regulatory exposure, value leakage, and decisions no one can stand behind. ModalPoint runs independent AI decision audits for oil & gas. We don’t sell the AI — that’s exactly why we can audit it.
