In its 36th year, the Canadian Crude Oil Conference has gained recognition as a significant forum for industry executives in the global oil commodities markets to learn from key stakeholders and discuss critical issues affecting the industry.
We are delighted to host the 36th CCOC event in beautiful Lake Louise, Alberta this coming September. The longstanding tradition of this conference continues to engage a broad set of Senior Commercial leaders from Canada, the United States, and international destinations. The CCOC Committee is continually working to create a conference environment that encourages thought-provoking conversation among relevant topics within our industry, and 2026 will be no exception.
The Oil and Gas sector is constantly evolving, and commercial leaders within our industry continue to adapt in ever-changing market conditions to create value. More than ever, the North American oil and gas industry is tied to global macroeconomic factors, changing technology, the political landscape, and an evolving workforce. We are excited to have a great lineup of speakers for the 2026 conference that will help to shape a view of where we could be headed in the future.
The conference agenda will commence on Wednesday, September 16th at noon and conclude with the CCOC dinner and networking event on Thursday, September 17th. The format of the conference is designed to provide engaging speakers, valuable networking opportunities, and the ability to enjoy some of the beautiful landscape Alberta has to offer. As always, we welcome guests of delegates to attend the Keynote speaker presentation as well as the opportunity to enjoy the Fairmont spa.
Space is limited at this event and attendance is by INVITATION ONLY. Hotel rooms are limited, please reserve early.
WE URGE ALL DELEGATES TO BOOK EARLY AS SPACE IS LIMITED.
Plan to arrive in Lake Louise on Wednesday by 12 pm MST in time for lunch, an afternoon of speakers, and then the option for some free time to network or walk along the lake prior to the welcome reception. Thursday will be a full day of speakers, followed by a dinner and entertainment. While there are not any formal events planned on Friday, it presents a great opportunity to network or take in the natural beauty of the surroundings.
The 2026 CCOC Committee looks forward to welcoming all delegates in September!
