WGLC is a leading development event for professionals across the energy sector since its inception in 2004. Through insightful dialogue, growth-focused sessions, and expansive networking, we foster a vibrant, inclusive community that drives innovation and leadership in energy. See you in Houston on October 28-29, 2026!
The energy industry is evolving at pace, shaped by technological innovation, geopolitical complexity and workforce transformation. As the sector moves forward, so must its leaders.
WGLC 2026 brings together professionals from across oil, gas and the broader energy value chain to explore what it truly means to power energy forward, not only through innovation and infrastructure, but through leadership, professional growth and human impact.
This year’s program goes beyond titles and technical excellence. It examines how influence is built, how careers are intentionally shaped and how inclusive, high-performing teams drive sustainable success. From navigating complexity and accelerating digital transformation to strengthening resilience and expanding opportunity, WGLC provides the tools, insights and connections needed to lead with confidence in a rapidly changing industry.
Powering energy forward isn’t just about what we produce—it’s about how we lead, how we develop talent and how we shape the future of the sector together.
