NOVEMBER 3-5, 2026

Building the next generation of high-performing oil and gas operations

Operational excellence is no longer simply about boosting efficiency or reducing downtime - it’s about operations where technology, process, and people move as one. Yet in the current oil and gas operating environment, operators are struggling to balance reliability, resilience and affordability in an increasingly volatile global market.  

Those at the forefront are prioritizing opportunities for efficiency and productivity gains by pulling the RIGHT operational levers including workforce modernization, centralized operational intelligence, connected frontline operations, AI and automation, process simplification and more.

At the 2026 Operational Excellence in Oil & Gas Summit you'll learn how to apply those levers in your own operations to explore a smarter, faster, more sustainable path to operational excellence.
