We are returning to Washington, DC on June 9 and 10, 2026 to mark a decade of dialogue and leadership in global energy policy with the 10th Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum. 

The 2026 Forum will serve as both a reflection on the evolution of global energy systems and a forward-looking platform to define what legacy means for this community of leaders – the systems we build, the partnerships we strengthen, and the people we empower. 

Join us in Washington as we celebrate the Forum’s 10th anniversary and chart the course for continued innovation, collaboration, and leadership in the global energy transition. 

Stay connected for the latest updates on our programming.
