The oil and gas industry is changing quickly. New energy policies, growing natural gas demand, LNG expansion, data center development, technology, market uncertainty and continued pressure on costs are creating new challenges and opportunities for industry leaders.
For women working in oil and gas, advancing into leadership requires more than technical expertise. It requires the ability to influence others, communicate effectively with senior leaders, understand the broader business and build relationships across the industry.
The Leadership Conference for Women in Oil and Gas brings together women from across the industry for two days of practical leadership development, industry discussion and networking. Sessions focus on the challenges women encounter as they move into greater levels of responsibility, from establishing credibility and gaining visibility to managing teams, influencing across departments and making difficult decisions.
The conference also creates time for women to connect with one another. Through mentoring, small group discussions and networking opportunities, attendees can meet other women in the industry, exchange experiences and build relationships with leaders and peers who understand the opportunities and challenges of working in oil and gas.
Topics will include the forces shaping the oil and gas industry, leading through uncertainty, AI and automation, executive communication, business and financial decision making, building high performing teams and navigating difficult conversations.
