Canada’s energy narrative is shifting from regional landlocked supply to global cornerstone. Join senior leaders from Ovintiv Canada, Birchcliff Energy, and LNG Canada as they kick off the symposium with an urgent, candid discussion on how the Montney and Duvernay are stepping up to meet international demand. From massive export infrastructure like LNG Canada and producer-led initiatives like Rockies LNG to cross-border capital partnerships, discover how Western Canada is driving technical innovation, establishing world-class commercial pathways, and answering the call for global energy security.
