A leading reference source on geopolitical, regulatory, macroeconomic and fiscal developments in the gas and electricity markets, the Gazelec Congress returns for a new edition in October 2026 at the CNIT Forest venue in Paris La Défense.

Among the 1,000 expected participants, including 100 speakers and 90 sponsors and partners, the congress will bring together suppliers, service providers and nearly 300 buyers from the industrial, transport, construction, environmental and public sectors, around shared challenges : securing their procurement, gaining visibility on the markets and accelerating their energy strategy.

The guiding theme of this edition is built around a panorama of the major transformations and challenges facing the energy market :

Geopolitics and security of supply
Decarbonisation – or rather, de-fossilisation
Electrification of uses
The transformation of professions
The growing role of data in energy management
And, looking ahead to 2027, a special focus on "Presidential elections: what the political parties are preparing"

To address these questions and meet the expectations of all attendees, the congress has been renewing its session formats for two editions now, with :

11 round tables to analyse the key strategic issues in the gas and electricity markets ;
24 business sessions offering concrete feedback and operational insights ;
6 working groups to explore key topics in a participatory format fostering peer-to-peer exchanges ;
And, on Wednesday 14 October, a dedicated buyers' day combining training sessions and best practice benchmarking.
