Every three years, WPC Energy organizes the WPC Energy Congress (formerly the World Petroleum Congress) as the principal meeting place for a global discussion of all energy related issues. Following a twelve month campaign period, one of the candidate countries is selected by its fellow Council members to host the next WPC Energy Congress.
Following the 24th Congress in Calgary in 2023, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia will be the host city for the 25th WPC Energy Congress in 2026.
