The Energy Narrative Forum
The Laura Hotel, Houston Downtown, Autograph Collection
March 23, 2026 | Houston, TX
An invite-only gathering for leaders shaping the future of energy.
And you’re invited.
The most important
conversations
won’t only happen on stage.
They’ll happen in the rooms where energy leaders speak candidly. As energy companies operate in an increasingly visible and polarized environment, communications strategy is no longer a supporting function; it’s central to enterprise value, stakeholder alignment, and long-term positioning. The Energy Narrative Forum convenes a select group of chief communications officers, corporate affairs executives, C-suite leaders, investors, and leading journalists for an off-the-record evening focused on one defining question:
How is the energy narrative being shaped at this inflection point, and how does it influence enterprise value and business outcomes?
The evening features two curated conversations followed by a networking reception intentionally structured to foster candid dialogue and meaningful connection among senior decision-makers across the energy ecosystem.
Attendance is limited to maintain the depth of discussion.

From Grid Strain to AI Boom: Covering Energy at a Turning Point
The dominant storylines shaping today’s energy landscape—and the media framing around them—are evolving rapidly. In this closed-door discussion, leading journalists reporting from CERAWeek will examine where media scrutiny is intensifying, how newsroom priorities are shifting, how AI-driven power demand is reframing energy conversations, and what narratives are influencing markets, policymakers, and public perception.
Attendees will gain a clearer view of where energy coverage is headed and what that means for their communications strategy.

From Strategy to Story: How Energy Leaders Shape the Narrative
In today’s volatile and rapidly evolving energy landscape, strategic storytelling does more than shape reputation—it shapes markets. As capital flows shift, policy frameworks evolve, and stakeholders demand greater transparency around reliability, affordability, and sustainability, the narratives energy companies advance can influence valuation, regulatory outcomes, competitive positioning, and public trust. In this candid conversation, leading Chief Communications Officers will discuss how they align story with strategy to reduce uncertainty, build credibility, and position their organizations for long-term advantage.
Attendees will leave with a sharper perspective on how to lead the narrative rather than simply respond to it.
