This week, thousands of energy executives and politicians from around the world are participating in CERAWeek 2025, an annual conference that determines the agenda for the global energy sector.
The conference, organized by S&P Global and held in downtown Houston, will feature essential conversations on issues such as industry developments, technology advancements, and the impact of new regulations implemented by the Trump administration.
Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of S&P Global and chairman of CERAWeek, will lead conversations with some of the sector's most prominent figures. These individuals include President Trump's cabinet members, Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, and top executives from the world's most significant energy businesses.
Although Texas is leading in oil production and the rise of renewable energy, Houston remains at the core of the changing energy environment.
Most people cannot attend CERAWeek because complete passes cost $10,500, and partial access to Innovation Agora costs $3,000. This lack of accessibility is despite the conference's significant impact. The event has been under criticism in recent years due to the limited public engagement it has received, mainly the exclusion of climate activists in 2024.
Conversations and strategies that will determine the future of the energy business will be shaped at CERAWeek 2025, which will take place as the energy sector adjusts to meeting new global challenges.
