Join us for the 2024 KPMG Global Energy Conference!
The 2024 KPMG Global Energy Conference marks the 20th year that KPMG is bringing together leading experts from across the energy and energy-adjacent sectors to help you navigate the future of the industry. This conference is more than just a milestone, though—it’s a reflection of how much energy has changed, how rapidly the pace of that change is accelerating, and how broadly it’s impacting clients in tech, finance, banking, insurance, automotive, manufacturing, and more.
At KPMG, we believe that a focus on the future will determine success in this space. The 2024 Global Energy Conference will focus on areas such as capital investment, mergers and acquisitions, risk and resiliency, technology, and human capital.
We're excited for you to join us at this historic time.

Keynote Speakers
2024 KPMG Global Energy Conference
Conference highlights
The goal of the GEC is to provide participants with new insights, tools, and strategies to help them manage industry-related issues and challenges. Attendees have the opportunity to learn from leading energy and energy-adjacent companies.
In addition to our notable speakers, an impressive lineup of industry professionals will offer new insights and strategies on hot topics during our concurrent panel sessions. Attendees can choose from a host of breakout discussions on the issues that are most relevant to their businesses.
I have never been to an industry event which was so well represented by females in my entire career. All the panels were balanced, diverse and demonstrated the female talent of our industry which is hardly ever on display.
