Key Global Leaders to Discuss Industry Innovations and Energy Transition at the Annual Global Energy Show in Calgary

The Global Energy Show is the largest B2B exhibition and conference in North America showcasing the next generation of leaders from the global energy sector discussing global challenges and developing real-world solutions. At the centre of the event is the Global Energy Conference featuring more than 100 senior, national and international ministerial, and CEO speakers discussing key topics including energy security, challenges of meeting global energy demand, net zero by 2050 targets, and many other important insights into the future of the industry. A panel with female energy leaders from Cenovus Energy, Suncor, Canadian Natural Resources, and Imperial will be held on June 8 and will focus on the Oil Sands Pathway to Net Zero Alliance.

“The Global Energy Show is the only fully-integrated energy event in North America, and we are thrilled to welcome back energy leaders to Calgary,” said Nick Samain, Vice President, dmg events. “Now more than ever, it’s important to showcase Canada’s capabilities in supplying energy to the world including sustainably-produced oil and gas; low-cost hydrogen; renewables including wind, solar, and geothermal; and exciting new technology like Small Modular Reactors (SMR). The Global Energy Show is proud to be facilitating these global discussions and further position Canada as the global supplier of choice for responsibly-produced energy.”

This year’s event is hosted by award winning journalist and media personality Larysa Harapyn from the National Post/Financial Post, and has an unprecedented line-up of exciting speakers including the Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada; Governor Rick Perry, former Energy Secretary of the US Department of Energy and former Governor of Texas; Greg Grant, President, Natural Gas Pipelines of TC Energy; Nancy Southern, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of ATCO Ltd. and Canadian Utilities Limited; Susannah Pierce, President and Country Chair General Manager, Renewables and Energy Solutions of Shell; Martha Hall Findlay, Chief Climate Officer of Suncor; and many more. A full list of speakers can be found on the Global Energy Show website.

Cenovus, the Canadian-based integrated oil and natural gas producer, is co-hosting the Global Energy Show. Through its membership in the Pathways Alliance, and its own ambitious environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets, Cenvous is committed to a sustainable future for Canadian oil and gas. That includes the company’s ambition to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions from its operations by 2050.

“Collaboration and partnership are critical for the oil and gas industry to help meet the world’s growing demand for secure, affordable, and sustainably-produced energy,” says Alex Pourbaix, Cenovus President & Chief Executive Officer. “Industry events like the Global Energy Show provide a great forum to share knowledge and showcase technologies and innovations to address the climate challenges and help reduce our impacts on air, land, and water resources.” Mr. Pourbaix is a featured speaker at the Strategic Conference portion of this year’s event.

The three-day Global Energy Technical Conference will see energy professionals present and discuss the latest technologies and showcase innovations leading the way towards low or zero emission energy systems. This year’s technical conference will feature three new presentations on Hydrogen, Methane Emission Reduction, and Renewables. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet representatives from key international companies from global markets including the Middle East, North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In addition to the conference, the BMO Centre will host over 460,000 square feet of exhibition space for the Global Energy Show, showcasing the greatest solutions to today’s complex issues in the energy value chain.

Hosted on June 8, the Global Energy Show Awards will recognize leaders and innovators who are disrupting and leading the energy sector with their contributions.

DMG EVENTS LAUNCHES CANADIAN HYDROGEN CONVENTION IN EDMONTON WELCOMING GLOBAL ENERGY LEADERS

DMG EVENTS LAUNCHES CANADIAN HYDROGEN CONVENTION IN EDMONTON WELCOMING GLOBAL ENERGY LEADERS

The now sold-out Strategic Conference invites experts to analyze the challenges the industry is currently facing, and the solutions available to bring awareness to hydrogen in transforming Canada’s energy sector. Attendees will hear from a notable lineup of speakers including Hon. Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Natural Resources; Corey Hessen, Executive Vice-President, Power, Storage and Origination of TC Energy; Grand Chief George Arcand Jr.; and Seifi Ghasemi, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Air Products.

“We are really proud to launch the first Canadian Hydrogen Convention and welcome leaders to Edmonton to join these important conversations and discover what is needed to supercharge the industry,” said Nick Samain, Vice President, dmg events. “Hydrogen is expected to be a vital component in the low carbon economy, and Canada has all the resources to develop a competitive and sustainable hydrogen economy. The Canadian Hydrogen Convention will illustrate Canada’s leadership in hydrogen and position the country as a global hydrogen powerhouse.”

CHC will take place over three days, with the exhibition and conference on April 26 and 27. On the third and final day, a Driving Site Tour will be hosted by the Alberta Industrial Heartland Association. Here, attendees can witness high-profile projects and companies and gain a comprehensive understanding of the size and scope of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. Additionally, attendees can view large-scale projects from companies like Dow, Shell, Nutrien, Sherritt, and Pembina. April 27 will also mark the first Canadian Hydrogen Awards, recognizing excellence in the hydrogen industry and honouring leaders, innovators, and trailblazers who actively promote healthy advancements in the sector.

“As a planned annual conference, the Canadian Hydrogen Convention will become a longstanding event, demonstrating the significant interest there is in Edmonton, and Canada more broadly, in hydrogen and related technologies,” said Malcolm Bruce, CEO of Edmonton Global. “As the economic development organization representing the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, Edmonton Global is pleased to be co-hosting this important event. Energy has long been the backbone of the Edmonton economy, and we are excited about the opportunity that hydrogen represents for our region to continue to lead in providing sustainable energy solutions for Canada and beyond.”

The two-day Canadian Hydrogen Technical Courses that will run alongside the main conference will present 40 papers that showcase the latest in technologies, processes, and innovations. The tradeshow floor features a diverse range of companies including TC Energy, Air Products, WSP, Toyota, Nikola, ATCO, InnoTech Alberta, Hydra Energy, and many more. Featured exhibits will include hydrogen production, transportation, carbon capture, and energy consumption.

Canada is positioned to become a leading global producer of clean hydrogen due to its skilled labour force and strategic energy assets. A clean hydrogen economy can diversify the country’s future energy mix while generating economic benefits. With hydrogen supply more accessible than demand end uses, establishing reliable sources of hydrogen demand will be key to unlocking a hydrogen economy in Canada.
