ROG.e
The largest energy festival on the planet, ROG.e 2026, organised by the Brazilian Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels Institute (IBP), will take place from September 21 - 24. The conference is even bigger and will bring together leading experts from the energy sector. The exhibition area has also grown by about 60% compared to 2024 and will feature more than 650 companies from Brazil and around the world. The event will take place throughout Riocentro, the largest convention centre in Latin America, covering approximately 117 000 m2.
Some 75 000 visitors from around the world are expected to attend, reflecting the event’s appeal to international visitors and helping strengthen partnerships and business opportunities in the Brazilian market. The event is expected to surpass the last edition, when 11% of attendees came from abroad: the US, Argentina, China, Norway, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Colombia, and Mexico.
The relevance of ROG.e 2026 becomes even more evident when we see its programme, spearheaded by global leaders: Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of TotalEnergies; Maria João Carioca, co-CEO and CFO of Galp; Tengku Muhammad Taufik, President & Group CEO of Petronas; Ølivind Tangen, CEO of SBM Offshore; and Magda Chambriard, President of Petrobras; as well as senior executives from other organisations.
For foreign delegations, ROG.e 2026 will launch the Global Access Program, which will support international participants from the moment they arrive by providing guidance, access to information, and assistance with scheduling, thereby facilitating business opportunities in Brazil. A highlight of the program, the Global Lounge will be an exclusive space serving as a reception and meeting hub where participants will have access to O&G industry experts to gain a deeper understanding of the market and build connections at the event.
ROG.e 2026 will combine networking, business, and immersive and cultural experiences, featuring 13 side events for different audiences, including the iUP Innovation Connections, the Supply Chain Forum, the Multienergy & Decarb Arena, the Literary Arena, masterclasses, the EnergyRun and a golf tournament, as well as daily concerts and social spaces integrated into the trade show.
