World Energy Impact

From 2027, our previous World Energy Week series will be known as World Energy Impact. This evolution reflects the Council’s commitment to being the world’s most inclusive and impactful energy community, creating greater opportunity and visibility for our collective voice in the global energy dialogue. It is designed to:

  • Facilitate a stronger, more energised and more active member community
  • Deliver more frequent, geographically diverse and accessible touchpoints to sustain community engagement year-round
  • Offer a more compelling and commercially attractive platform for hosts, sponsors, partners and other stakeholders
  • Increase visibility and value for Member Committees, within both national and regional ecosystems and on the global stage
World Energy Impact 2027

Expressions of interest to host World Energy Impact 2027 are now closed.

Please look out for the next Call for Collaboration for future editions, where we invite all World Energy Council Member Committees and other interested parties to explore the opportunity to host an edition of our regionally anchored convening series.
