Exhibition & Conference
14 - 17 September 2026
The Strategic Conference brings together over 800 global energy leaders - from government ministers and C-suite executives to policymakers, investors, and technology innovators. Representing producers, infrastructure developers, utilities, technology companies, AI and digital solution providers, financial institutions, and climate technology pioneers, these leaders share the insights and strategies required to respond to intensifying demand, strengthen energy security, and support long-term market stability.
The Strategic Leadership Programme will serve as a powerful platform for advancing the global energy agenda, bringing together the leaders shaping the policies, investments, and partnerships that will define the future of energy security and affordability. It will spotlight practical pathways to deliver reliable, lower-carbon energy at scale, while responding to the realities of rising demand and shifting geopolitics.
The Electrification Strategic Programme brings together influential leaders in the global power sector to chart the next decade of system transformation. The programme will offer strategic insight and high-level dialogues on emerging technologies, evolving demand patterns, and the investment models required to build a reliable, competitive, and decarbonised power system.
The focus is shifting from early-stage innovation to deployment at scale, with growing attention on industrial transformation and technologies addressing hard-to-abate emissions. The Low Carbon Solutions Strategic Programme will bring together energy leaders, investors and innovators to explore scalable, investable pathways that support energy security, industrial competitiveness and a lower-emissions future.
AI is transforming energy while creating unprecedented demand for the power and infrastructure needed to support its growth.
Across three days, the AixEnergy Strategic Conference explores both sides of this transformation. From the strategic forces, investment and infrastructure shaping the global AI buildout, to the deployment of AI across grids, pipelines and generation assets, the programme brings together senior leaders to address the commercial and operational decisions shaping the future of AI and energy.
As the market evolves, hydrogen’s role in the future energy mix is becoming clearer. Supported by policy, collaboration, and innovation, the market is progressing towards viable projects and deployment, despite challenges around demand and regulation. The Hydrogen Strategic Programme will bring together energy leaders to address these issues and unlock investment and growth.
Through keynote addresses and dynamic panel discussions, the Japan Energy Programme will bring together leading buyers, suppliers, shipowners, financiers, and governments government stakeholders to examine how Japan’s LNG strategy, power sector transition and growing industrial demand are shaping regional resilience and global gas markets.
To power a secure and resilient energy future, the Strategic Conference
addresses the following themes:
The global energy economy is being reshaped by rising demand, geopolitical disruption and a renewed focus on energy security and sovereignty. As governments and industries respond to supply disruptions and shifting alliances, the world is adding energy supply at scale to meet growing demand.
Gastech will convene global leaders to examine how diversified supply, resilient infrastructure and pragmatic policy frameworks can strengthen the stability of global energy systems, and how markets, trade flows and partnerships are evolving to respond to geopolitical realities while working to ensure energy is universally accessible and affordable.
Natural gas and LNG remain central to global energy security, providing reliable, lower-carbon supply amid market volatility. As Asia’s demand for cleaner fuels grows, LNG is displacing coal and supporting industrial growth.
Gastech will highlight gas’s strategic role in stabilising energy systems and advancing resilient infrastructure investment.
Rising electricity demand is reshaping global energy systems, driven by AI and digitalisation, rapid industrialisation, urbanisation and the need to expand energy access, alongside decarbonisation goals. Meeting this growth requires integrated systems where natural gas provides flexible baseload power alongside renewables, nuclear and battery storage.
Gastech will explore how these technologies can operate in concert to deliver reliable, scalable and lower-carbon electricity systems that support both economic development and the energy transition.
Modernising global energy systems requires unprecedented investment, especially across Asia and the Global South. Capital must target LNG, gas-to-power, and low-carbon projects to ensure secure, decarbonised supply.
Gastech will convene financiers, policymakers, and developers to align on innovative frameworks that unlock capital, mitigate risk, and accelerate resilient energy infrastructure..
Artificial intelligence is transforming energy, improving efficiency, forecasting, and system adaptability. As electrification accelerates, AI will be crucial for balancing demand, reducing emissions, and optimising assets.
Gastech will convene technology leaders and operators to explore AI’s potential in midstream and downstream operations, unlocking value and enabling a resilient, intelligent energy future.
The evolving energy landscape requires collaboration across borders, sectors, and technologies. From LNG diversification to hydrogen and advanced tech deployment, coordinated action is critical.
Gastech will bring together governments, industry, and technology partners to forge integrated alliances that drive investment, innovation, and long-term energy security for a sustainable, resilient future
Low carbon solutions and energy efficiency solutions will be central to achieving measurable emissions reduction across the global energy system.
Gastech will examine how these technologies can move from ambition to large‑scale deployment, integrating into complex value chains, enabling system‑wide optimisation, and supporting a more interconnected, resilient, and lower‑emissions future.
Hydrogen and low‑carbon fuels are emerging as critical components of future energy systems, complementing natural gas and enabling deeper decarbonisation of hard‑to‑abate sectors.
Asia is rapidly positioning itself as a key demand centre, with new import terminals, pilot projects, and policy frameworks taking shape. However, cost competitiveness, infrastructure readiness, and market design remain major hurdles.
Gastech will explore pathways to scale production, optimise transport and storage, and integrate hydrogen and low‑carbon fuels into existing gas networks to build a more diverse and resilient energy mix.
Ministers and policymakers from the world’s leading economies will share their insights on geopolitics, economic priorities, energy security, and national roadmaps to Net zero.
Senior policymakers and energy sector leadership will tackle both the near-term and long-term challenges confronting the industry and determine pathways to bolstering resilience, sustainability and affordability.
CEOs and industry leaders across the energy value chain explore corporate strategies to harness the growth opportunity natural gas provides, along with the rapid deployment of climate technologies, to transform energy systems, advance the new industrial age and provide clean, affordable energy to all.
Convening leading minds and personalities from the global energy sector, policy, AI and adjacent industries in a series of short form interviews with noted broadcasters and industry analysts. The talks provide unique insights from the leaders at the vanguard of the global energy ecosystem transformation.
A dedicated series of discussions for senior industry practitioners in natural gas and LNG to exchange insights on operational challenges and strategic solutions.
Leading industry experts, analysts and commentators go head-to-head on the defining questions facing energy markets, from fuel competitiveness and subsidy policy to trade, tariffs and the role of gas in the energy transition, offering bold, competing perspectives that challenge consensus.
A select group of senior executives and policymakers for focused, high-level discussion. Designed to inform investment, policy and long-term strategy, each session supports more aligned action across the international energy sector.
