CERAWeek is an annual conference for the energy industry held in Houston, Texas. Organized by S&P Global, the event gathers executives, government officials, and leaders from the energy, technology, and financial sectors. It was founded in 1983 by Daniel Yergin and James Rosenfield as the executive conference for their firm, Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA).[2]

The conference program addresses topics such as energy markets, geopolitics, climate change, and technological innovation. It consists of two main, concurrent programs: the Executive Conference and the Innovation Agora, the latter of which was introduced in 2017 to focus on emerging technologies. The event has been described by the Financial Times as "the Davos of energy,"[3] by Politico as the "industry’s Super Bowl,"[4] and by CNBC as "the world’s preeminent energy conference."[5]
