CONFERENCE PROGRAMME

Strategic sessions shaping upstream priorities and perspectives

The MEOS GEO Strategic sessions bring together senior industry voices to explore the priorities, decisions and challenges shaping the upstream energy sector. Designed to complement the technical programme, these sessions provide context, perspective and insight into the strategic forces influencing exploration, development, investment and performance.

The Strategic sessions programme for MEOS GEO 2027 is currently in development. Details on session themes, speakers and agenda will be released in phases as the programme is confirmed.

What are the Strategic Sessions?

Strategic sessions at MEOS GEO focus on the broader themes influencing upstream performance, bringing together leadership perspectives across industry, policy, technology and investment. Rather than technical deep dives, these sessions are designed to:

  1. Frame the challenges facing the upstream sector
  2. Explore regional and global perspectives
  3. Encourage informed dialogue across disciplines

They provide essential context for the technical discussions that take place throughout the conference.
