BIG IDEAS BY DAY. BIG CONNECTIONS BY NIGHT.
This year’s Summit dove into the forces shaping - and testing - Europe’s energy future.
Across three dynamic spaces - the Inspire Stage, the Evolve Stage, and the Connect Area - attendees could explore urgent themes through bold panels, sharp insights, and real-world stories from real people.
But it’s not just about what’s said on stage. It’s about who delegates met off it.
At the Summit, delegates are in the right place, with the right people - where conversations with decision-makers spark partnerships, and connections drive the energy transition forward.
The Summit experience included:
- All Summit stages
- Exclusive lounges and networking areas
- Delegate-only sessions and roundtables
- A seat at the Think Tank Session
- Lunch, coffee, refreshments and receptions
- A ticket to The Sunset Summit at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
The Sunset Summit
Where the day ends, and conversations keep flowing.
A fabulous evening for Summit delegates inside the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Where the day’s big ideas turned into lasting, meaningful connections
Attendance was limited.
