Join us for the 34th annual Slugging It Out, the industry’s signature one-day conference focused on the evolving landscape of heavy oil and oil sands. Held in Calgary, Alberta, this event brings together engineers, geoscientists, innovators, and decision-makers to share insights, showcase advancements, and discuss the forces shaping the future of the sector.

This year’s conference will spotlight key topics, including updates on major projects and both short- and long-term industry outlooks. Slugging It Out remains a vital forum for fostering growth, driving innovation, and advancing sustainability in the heavy oil and oil sands sector.

Be part of the conversation as we explore emerging challenges and identify opportunities for sustainable growth.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit organization. Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other Society programs.

When you attend an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for industry professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence. Scholarships, certification, the Distinguished Lecturer program, and SPE’s energy education program Energy4me® are just a few examples of programs supported by SPE.
