Message from the SPE President

Dear Energy Community and Industry in General,

After many years of fruitful collaboration with EAGE, Europe Energy Conference also known as EuropEC had its first independent edition in Torino, Italy in June 2024, becoming an event entirely dedicated to Energy Transition. It was a challenge, it could have failed, but it worked. I want to take off my hat to the sponsors, committee, staff and board members who made it happen. No need for names, you know who you are.

In a single event EuropEC has become SPE’s de facto flagship event for Energy Transition. It makes sense for such event to be in Europe, which is moving towards New Energy at a rate that many other regions are not able or (sometimes) not willing to match.

The second edition of the new EuropEC will take place in Vienna, Austria on 10-12 June 2025, with the support of OMV as the host organization and with Mr. Reinhard J. Oswald, SVP Value Center Operations, as the conference chair. EuropEC’s broad technical spectrum will attract interest beyond the Atlantic and the Bosphorus Strait. We will speak low carbon, CCUS, emissions reduction and decarbonisation, geothermal, storages, hydrogen, etc.

Our new tagline (Solutions. People. Energy.) is what EuropEC is all about.

And do not forget to book your flights to Vienna!

Welcome to Vienna, and welcome to the 2025 Europe Energy Conference!
