June 13-18, 2014 – 21st World Petroleum Congress in Moscow

The 21st WPC will be conducted in Moscow from the 15-19 June, 2014. It is expected to be the largest event in the history of the WPC. Certainly, one of the factors determining the distinctive significance of the 21st WPC is the host country: Russia has been and remains one of the largest producers of hydrocarbons in the world. Still, organizers of the Moscow Congress are applying extra effort to increase its representativeness and number of attendees. In particular, it has been decided that the plenary sessions’ presentations will be simultaneously translated into Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, German, French, and Russian.

April 10,2014 Movie Night @ The BOW: “Switch”

WPC Canada, in partnership with Encana, is proud to present a screening of Switch, the first energy film that’s been embraced and supported by people all along the energy spectrum. But don’t worry – balanced doesn’t mean boring. Switch takes us around the world to explore what the future of energy really means. Are we running out of oil? Can coal be clean? Are renewables truly the future?

Enjoy a cocktail while taking in the sweeping views from atop The BOW tower, then grab some popcorn and settle in for an award-winning look at what it means to fuel our world.

October 22-25, 2013: 4th WPC Youth Forum

The WPC Youth Committee hosted delegates during their 2013 collaborative global forum, Unconventional Solutions for an Unconventional World. The 4th WPC Youth Forum provided a global perspective on industry best practices, technological advancements, corporate social responsibility, financing, as well as the opportunity to develop solutions to current key issues and foreseeable challenges.

The goal was to host a unique forum to engage young energy professionals in a cross-generational dialogue with current leaders, academics and experts to debate today’s and tomorrow’s energy challenges. The Forum provided current industry leaders the opportunity to engage with the next generation of energy professionals on issues such as supply and demand, the future energy mix, career opportunities and sustainable production.
