Overview

As the EA Conference returns for another year, it will continue to address the most pressing issues and exciting opportunities in the energy industry.

The discussions will provide invaluable insights in the progress of energy transition, evolving composition of the energy mix, and increasing demands on energy sources driven by population and GDP growth.

As geopolitical events continue to exert significant influence on the energy industry, the conference will bring together industry experts to discuss key issues dominating geopolitical discourse.

Building on the thought-provoking discussion last year, the EA

Conference will further explore the latest trends in trading, considering how energy is performing against other asset classes.

Expanding the agenda with new topics this year, the panels will also discuss the latest trends and developments in the petrochemical and shipping sectors.
