7th Energy Innovation & AI Forum 2026

Join us at the annual IN-PERSON 7th Energy Innovation & AI Forum 2026, on December 2 & 3, 2026 at the Cosmos Club of Washington, D.C.

From Washington, the center of U.S. policy and decision-making, the Energy Innovation & AI Forum brings together U.S. Senators and U.S. Congressmen, senior government officials, and energy leaders to foster a unique synergy between innovation, industry, and policy. At the Forum, off-the-record conversations drive progress as participants share vital market intelligence and gain exclusive access to the insights shaping innovation across oil, gas, solar, wind, nuclear, biofuels, hydrogen and carbon solutions.

Now in its seventh year, the Energy Innovation & AI Forum has established itself as the premier bipartisan, off-the-record platform in Washington, DC, convening U.S. Senators, Members of Congress, and top executives from the energy, finance, manufacturing, and technology. During the Forum, we will dive deep into the strategies, policies, and breakthroughs that strengthen the energy security and economic growth for the United States and our allies.

The Forum is an invitation-only, closed door meeting. All proceedings are strictly off the record, non-attribution, non-dissemination, and closed to the press.

U.S. Energy Stream is the national energy intelligence leader engaging U.S. Senators and Members of U.S. Congress, senior government leaders, energy executives, and energy investors to successfully address energy policy of the Trump Administration. Our customers trust U.S. Energy Stream’s mission to bring the highest intelligence to educate and empower business and government leaders to thrive.
