Riyadh is preparing to host the World Energy Congress, a gathering that will bring together more than 100 ministers alongside business and finance leaders for one of the sector's largest ministerial dialogues, with participation exceeding 18,000 attendees and 350 speakers drawn from over 150 countries and entities, according to the organizer.
The scale of the event reflects its weight in the global energy calendar, where policymakers, executives and financiers convene in a single forum aimed at turning energy policies and ambitions into practical solutions with measurable impact on the ground, rather than leaving them at the level of declarations.
The Riyadh edition coincides with the congress's centenary, a milestone that underscores the role it has played over a full century in bringing the world together around energy questions and in shaping the direction of the sector's future.
The event is listed on the World Energy Congress 2027 page, where further details on the Riyadh gathering are available.
