As global energy markets shift and the threat of tariffs looms, Canada cannot afford to remain a resource-rich nation without a strategic plan. Unlocking our full potential requires bold action—developing new export markets, refining crude oil into high-value petroleum products, unleashing the development of critical minerals and building interprovincial infrastructure such as west-east pipelines. To secure Canada’s energy future at home and on the global stage, industry leaders, policymakers, and regulators must collaborate like never before. The question is: will Canada lead, or be left behind?
Canada faces an infrastructure gap that threatens both domestic energy security and access to high-demand global markets. Despite the success of LNG Canada, too many energy projects stall before reaching Final Investment Decision (FID). The challenge isn’t potential—it’s unlocking investment and eliminating bottlenecks. How can industry, investors, and policymakers fast-track the next generation of LNG facilities, refineries, and critical infrastructure to capitalize on Canada’s energy advantage?
Energy security concerns are reshaping the global market, creating unprecedented opportunities for Canada. High-demand regions—including the Indo-Pacific, Asia, and Europe—are seeking stable, sustainable energy solutions, and Canada has the resources to deliver. The question isn’t whether Canada can compete globally — it’s whether we are ready to seize the moment.
The private sector is driving energy innovation, but excessive regulatory hurdles, red tape and economic constraints threaten to stall progress. Governments want to diversify the energy mix, but without an investment-friendly environment, achieving sustainability goals will remain out of reach. What must change to unlock capital, de-risk projects, and ensure Canada remains a global leader in energy development?
Indigenous communities are playing a growing role in Canada’s energy sector, but barriers remain — carbon taxes, affordability, underrepresentation, and regulatory obstacles continue to limit true economic participation. The future isn’t just about consultation; it’s about co-ownership. How can the private sector and Indigenous communities create a new era of energy partnerships that drive prosperity and self-determination?
The energy industry faces a talent emergency—fewer young people are entering the field, the workforce is aging, and international student numbers are declining. Meanwhile, demand for skilled workers is skyrocketing. Without urgent action, Canada risks a major talent shortage. How can industry, academia, and Indigenous communities collaborate to build the next generation of energy leaders?
Energy powers every aspect of our lives, yet the industry struggles with public perception—mired in political debates, complex regulations, and misinformation. The result? A public disconnected from the realities of energy production and its critical role in economic prosperity. How can the sector engage, educate, and shift the narrative to build public trust and support for Canada’s energy future?
AI is revolutionizing the energy industry, driving efficiencies and optimizing operations—but it’s also creating new challenges, including skyrocketing electricity demand. How can companies leverage AI to accelerate the energy transition while ensuring sustainability, grid stability, and emissions reduction in alignment with global climate goals?
Alberta is leading the way in energy security, innovation, and economic strength. As the backbone of Canada’s energy sector, we’re not only powering our future—we’re supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs and driving progress across North America. At Global Energy Show Canada, we showcase the technologies and partnerships shaping the next generation of energy. Join us in Calgary to see why Alberta is the place to invest, innovate, and lead the future of global energy.
Calgary is the economic engine of this country — and now more than ever, we must send a clear message to the world: Canada is the safest, most affordable, and most sustainable energy supplier. To achieve this, we need to continue investing in ourselves, advancing decarbonization, tracking energy trends, and recognizing the strength of our convention industry. I look forward to the ideas and innovations that will be shared at the Global Energy Show Canada — and to what we can accomplish together in advancing the future of energy
The energy story is Canada’s story—it’s about innovation, resilience, and the power of collective action. I’m honoured to host this year’s Global Energy Show Canada, where the brightest minds and boldest voices in energy are coming together at a critical moment for our country. This event isn’t just another conference—it’s a forum for clarity, action, and impact. I look forward to sitting down with CEOs, elected officials, and thought leaders to ask the questions that matter most—and to uncover the ideas that will shape our future
