CERAWeek Programs

CERAWeek is comprised of three mutually reinforcing platforms designed to share ideas and foster relationships. 

The Executive Conference provides an integrated framework for understanding what’s ahead for global energy markets and geopolitics. Corporate executives and senior government officials convene to address the defining trends and critical issues that are shaping the energy landscape. It is here where the worlds of energy, finance, manufacturing, mobility, technology, and policy converge. Through high-level dialogues and a global platform to share strategic visions, business leaders and policymakers advance ideas that will define the future of industry.

The Innovation Agora is an open marketplace for the exchange of insights and solutions on energy innovation and emerging technologies. It is also a forum to learn and connect, including an exciting program with many sessions and formats designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue and stimulate new thinking and learning. The program covers a wide array of transformational technology platforms ranging from digitalization, AI, analytics, and connectivity to robotics, blockchain, additive manufacturing and mobility, and including a continued focus on new technologies for decarbonization. The Agora convenes a remarkable community of technologists, investors, thought leaders, government officials and corporate innovators—all committed to exploring new pathways for lower emissions, affordability and reliability.

Partner Programs are designed to promote high-level interaction among senior executives and officials and build communities to address and share learning on the most important challenges facing the energy future; and programs that foster engagement by emerging leaders and communities.

CERAWeek History

In 1983, Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by Daniel Yergin and James Rosenfield. The energy research and consulting firm became known for its critical knowledge and independent analysis on energy markets, geopolitics, industry trends, technology and strategy. 

Each year, CERA clients gathered for the executive conference where they gained insight into the energy future while connecting with their peers. Over time, the program was expanded to five days, covering the full energy spectrum and the event was renamed CERAWeek. 

More than 40 years later, CERAWeek by S&P Global has become the world’s premier energy event. In 2017, this executive gathering expanded to include the Innovation Agora to advance the energy innovation ecosystem.
