What to expect

The ONS Strategic Conference spans over three days, and starts with an Opening Ceremony, followed by plenary sessions.

We aim to be in the forefront discussing the issues influencing the energy future, with topics ranging from climate, energy markets, energy transition, geopolitics, leadership, natural resources, innovation, technology and finance. 


The programme is developed in close co-operation with the ONS  Strategic Conference Committee. The committee consists of more than 30 senior executives from across the energy industry.

In 2024 the Full Week Conference Pass was sold out weeks in advance.

Expect the unexpected

Energy connects us all, whether we work with oil, solar panels, or plug our laptop into the socket. At ONS we bring unexpected voices to the stage to challenge, and inspire. Food, health and energy all affect each other, and we aim to expand the view and connect the decision-makers to drive the energy transition in a sustainable and just way for the world.
