Riyadh is set to host the 25th WPC Energy Congress, a major five-day international gathering taking place at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center from 11 to 15 October 2026. The official opening is scheduled for 12 October 2026, with the event forming part of Riyadh Energy Week.
The congress brings together a broad programme focused on the key issues shaping the global energy landscape. Sessions will address energy security, global markets, artificial intelligence, investment, critical minerals, carbon management, natural gas, safety, and the future energy mix.
Spread across five days, the agenda reflects the growing attention being paid to how energy systems evolve, how new technologies are integrated, and how investment flows into the sector. The mix of topics signals a wide-ranging discussion that spans both traditional energy priorities and emerging areas such as artificial intelligence and critical minerals.
