In November 2026, leaders from various sectors will gather in Istanbul for the fourth Atlantic Council Regional Conference on Energy and Infrastructure. This biennial event is pivotal in shaping the dialogue on energy, infrastructure, and regional cooperation, bringing together ministers, CEOs, investors, and innovators from diverse regions.
The conference, located at the meeting point of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, will address crucial topics such as energy security, the transition to clean energy, infrastructure investment, and reconstruction efforts in one of the world’s most dynamic areas.
In addition to energy-focused discussions, the event will cover trade projects, regional security, and geopolitical issues, extending from Ukraine to the Middle East and discussing the future of U.S. policy.
The 2026 conference in Istanbul serves as a platform for senior executives, policymakers, and thought leaders to engage in discussions crucial to global growth and stability. Those interested in playing a strategic role in the region’s energy future can contact Grady Wilson at gwilson@atlanticcouncil.org.
