Allies in Energy 2026 — What an incredible afternoon 👏💜

This week, we had the privilege of hosting a full room at the Calgary Petroleum Club for our Allies in Energy Executive Forum. Thank you to everyone, members and non-members alike, who joined us for such a meaningful and energizing conversation.

This year’s theme, “Leading in the Noise: Reclaiming the Lost Art of Human-Centered Communication”, truly resonated. Our panelists shared thoughtful and practical insights on how leaders can cut through complexity by leading with clarity, empathy, and intention.

A few key takeaways that stood out:
• In a fast-paced and often noisy environment, intentional listening is a leadership superpower
• Clarity and simplicity are critical when communicating through complexity
• Human connection remains at the core of effective leadership, no matter how much the landscape evolves

A sincere thank you to our outstanding panelists for sharing their experiences and perspectives, and to our incredible organizing committee for bringing this event to life.
