Canada’s biggest oil trade show reinvents itself amid new energy landscape

CALGARY - The annual Global Petroleum Show in Calgary announced its complete rebrand to Global Energy Show, reflecting the industry's continued evolution, as the show builds upon significant technological and sustainable achievements driven by oil and gas and moves to encompass alternative sources. The rebrand comes in advance of the 54th annual show, taking place in Calgary this June.

"As we launch this rebrand, we are upholding the Global Energy Show's reputation of showcasing the best in energy and innovative technologies from top suppliers, with more than 700 exhibitors across five exhibit halls and growing," said Nick Samain, vice president, dmg events, organizer of the Global Energy Show. "We want to leverage our platform to share how Canadian energy companies are not only transforming with the industry but also leading the dialogue and making meaningful contributions on the global stage."

Every year, the show brings together more than 50,000 industry professionals, government officials and companies to have forward-thinking conversations about creating a prosperous and sustainable future for upcoming generations. Delegates from more than 110 countries are represented during the three-day exhibition and conference. With the rebrand, the show strives to draw global attention to the increasing pace of technology that is driving growth in sustainable energy production. The event will also profile the oil and gas sector as a hub of solutions-based innovation and promote the show as an inclusive event for all energy players.

"Canada continues to be one of the most important and reliable energy producers in the world—and Alberta is at the epicenter of it," said Samain. "Through the Global Energy Show, we want to convince the world that Alberta and Canada are great places to invest and do business in—whether that opportunity lies with oil and gas or new and emerging sectors. As we strive to meet global energy demands, the Canadian energy sector must continue to diversify, innovate and expand into new avenues for growth."

Global Energy Show is taking place June 9-11, 2020, in Calgary, Alberta at the BMO Centre. In 2020, audiences will see the return of existing programs including the three-day Strategic and Technical Conference, Global Market Seminar Series, Awards Gala and GPC VIP program. In addition, the Show will launch the Global Energy Investment Forum and the CEO & Ministerial Summit to foster dialogue and promote investment in the sector.
