The Global Energy Leaders Summit took place at the Millennium Mayfair, London on 18-19 September 2012.

Bringing together the sector's most distinguished leaders, innovators, policy makers and thought leaders we were able to explore the shifting landscape of global energy, and gain valuable insights into the roadblocks and potential solutions to the challenges ahead.

On Demand video from the Summit is available to view now [watch video], an overview of the event can be found on our YouTube page [watch vidoe] and a selection of photos from the two days can be found in our Gallery [view].

"I think events like this are hugely important because of the opportunity to share information worldwide and bring together people from around the world. The dynamics in the room are excellent, I thought the interaction between the crowd and the speakers was very good and there was a very broad understanding of the world energy scene." 

- Patrick D Daniel, CEO, Enbridge

"Today brought together a lot of opinion formers and a lot of key members of the industry. It allowed them to exchange views both formally and informally."        

- Chris Skrebowski, Founding Director, Peak Oil Consulting
