$200 DISCOUNT EXPIRES SEPTEMBER 11

The initial program for the Gas to Grid Infrastructure Summit 2026 is now live. Taking place over two days in Houston, the summit brings together the companies working to answer one of the industry’s most pressing questions: how can abundant natural gas be converted into reliable, scalable and cost-effective power for the growing demands of the AI era?

Developed alongside ADI Analytics, the program examines the infrastructure, commercial and regulatory challenges standing between gas supply and the power required to support rapidly expanding data center demand.

The AI Power Crisis Is a Gas Infrastructure Problem

AI data centers are creating unprecedented demand for electricity, while existing grid infrastructure cannot expand quickly enough in many markets. Gas supply, pipeline capacity, storage, interconnection, generation equipment and permitting are increasingly becoming critical factors in determining how quickly new power can come online.

Gas to Grid Infrastructure Summit 2026 brings utilities, midstream operators, data center developers, investors, regulators, OEMs, EPCs and technology providers together in Houston to examine practical pathways for delivering reliable, scalable, affordable and lower-carbon power.

What to Expect

Day 1: Demand, Deliverability & Commercial Models

The first day focuses on the growing demand for power, gas deliverability and the commercial structures needed to connect energy supply with new AI-driven load.

Day 2: Storage, Permitting, LNG & Delivery Technology

The second day examines the infrastructure and technologies needed to move and store energy, including gas storage, permitting, LNG and emerging delivery solutions.

Why This Event, Why Now?

Data centers need more than power commitments—they need infrastructure capable of delivering that power on schedule. Site selection is increasingly tied to energy availability, while time to power has become a competitive advantage.

Gas supply, transmission access, interconnection queues, turbine availability, substation readiness, water use, emissions strategies and community acceptance are all influencing which projects can move forward.

Across two days, the summit will explore how North America can better align gas supply, power generation, grid planning, storage, transmission, behind-the-meter solutions and commercial risk allocation to meet rising electricity demand while maintaining reliability, affordability and long-term decarbonization goals.
