The upcoming EAGE Near Surface Geoscience Conference & Exhibition in Thessaloniki, Greece brings together parallel conferences spanning engineering geophysics, hydrogeophysics, mineral exploration, and geohazards, linking methodological advances with real subsurface challenges. The programme features contributions on geophysical imaging and inversion, multiphysics integration, AI and machine learning, and near-surface characterisation and monitoring, allowing developments in areas such as resistivity, seismic methods, and remote sensing to be viewed across applications from groundwater to infrastructure and resources. For attendees, the value lies in cross-disciplinary exchange: comparing approaches, testing ideas against case studies, and engaging with peers within a technically focused environment that supports both innovation and practical application. Join us and gain valuable key insights on the newest advancements, expand your network, and contribute to shaping the future of near surface geoscience.

Please join us for the 63rd Continental Europe Energy Council Event in Warsawa, Poland on 8-10 October 2026, organized by the CEEC and hosted by Central European Petroleum and Tenaz Energy. It is an excellent opportunity to connect with some 250 energy professionals from independent companies, NOCs, government authorities, service providers and investors from across Europe.
Experience a three day program including the Icebreaker Reception on Thursday, the Technical Session and Gala Dinner on Friday, and the Field Trip with a Farewell Reception on Saturday. Don’t miss out on networking, sharing information and opening up new business opportunities.
The CEEC has been active for over 30 years and currently represents a key event in the energy business in Continental Europe.
It is an ideal place to exchange information and make deals. It has expanded its traditional oil and gas focus to include also the geothermal energy, hydrogen, helium and CCS.

GSA Connects 2026 is where the geoscience community comes home

This October, something remarkable is happening in Denver—thousands of geoscientists from more than 50 countries show up not just to present research, but to reconnect with the people and the science that remind them why they chose this field in the first place. From 11–14 October, GSA Connects brings that feeling to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, with three bold meeting themes, hundreds of technical sessions, and field trips that take you straight into one of the most geologically spectacular regions on Earth. But what makes Connects different isn’t the program, it’s the people. Students meeting their future mentors. Early career researchers finding their footing. Experienced professionals passing the torch. Add the GeoCareers Corner, world-class professional development, a vibrant exhibit hall, and the energy of Denver, and you’ll find something here that no agenda can fully capture—a sense of belonging to something that genuinely matters. We’ll see you there!

The Africa Conference 2026 marks more than two decades of exploration success, bringing the geoscience community together to reflect on the discoveries, technologies and insights that have shaped African Exploration & Production since 2002. This special one-day event will celebrate the conference’s legacy across London, Houston and Cape Town, where many field concepts were first shared before progressing to discovery, appraisal, development and production.
Following the passing of long-standing Conference Chair Ray Bate, this year’s programme will honour 24 years of achievement while looking ahead to Africa’s next generation of exploration opportunities. Invited speakers will examine major hydrocarbon discoveries, the current E&P landscape, future plays, short farmout presentations, regional licence rounds and subsurface-focused case studies.
With seismic interpretation, rock data and well data at its core, the conference offers a unique opportunity to revisit success stories, share lessons learned and explore future potential.

Focused, Innovative and Commercially Relevant
A new high-profile conference from the Geoscience Energy Society of Great Britain (GESGB). Designed to replace PETEX, G-CON brings together leading academics, industry innovators and the next generation of geoscientists to address real-world energy challenges. The programme is built around three commercially relevant themes: global hotspots and hydrocarbon exploration, technology, AI and data science, and new energies and subsurface solutions, including geothermal, hydrogen and helium.
Across focused technical streams, daily keynotes, poster sessions and networking events, G-CON creates a direct platform for industry partners to connect, influence and showcase innovation. Companies can present breakthroughs in exploration, development, AI and data science, demonstrate leadership in emerging energy sectors and highlight successful plays to a highly engaged audience.
For operators, service companies and consultancies, G-CON offers valuable visibility across the energy ecosystem, a bridge to academic research with commercial potential and opportunities to strengthen brand presence through sponsorship, exhibition, speaking slots and media partnerships.

Commercial-Scale CCS: A New Era Begins
Carbon Capture and Storage is moving from ambition into delivery across the North Sea and beyond. Projects are progressing through final investment decision into execution, with the first commercial-scale storage developments entering operation. New licences, cross-border transport models and industrial partnerships are reinforcing the region’s role as a leading hub for secure geological CO₂ storage.
Momentum is growing, but delivery remains complex. Financing structures, regulation, storage integrity, monitoring and long-term liability continue to shape how quickly projects can scale, particularly for hard-to-abate sectors.
Now in its fifth year, the GESGB CCS4G Symposium 2026 brings geoscientists, engineers and energy professionals together for a focused one-day event on delivering geological CO₂ storage at scale.
The symposium offers practical insight into subsurface understanding, storage assurance, project delivery and the commercial developments defining CCS now.
