2026 KBH ENERGY CENTER SYMPOSIUM

The New Energy Equation: Demand, Power, and Geopolitics September 11, 2026

The premier forum for leaders in energy, policy, finance, and academia

Join industry leaders, policymakers, and top academic voices at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Energy Center’s flagship annual symposium, where the most pressing energy challenges are debated and the path forward takes shape.

Spotlighting senior executives from across the energy sector, this year’s program tackles the forces reshaping global energy systems - from power demand and AI to capital flows, supply chains, and geopolitical risk.

The symposium will also feature a special September 11 anniversary session on energy, security, and national resilience, presented in collaboration with the Clements Center for National Security.
