As the global geothermal industry accelerates and groundbreaking projects advance worldwide, this represents an unprecedented period of opportunity for geothermal energy. Nations are pushing boundaries to decarbonise and localise their power and heating supply, with the UK's increasing activity showcasing diverse geothermal applications and untapped potential. SPE Aberdeen proudly announces the technical programme for its 2026 Geothermal Seminar: Accelerating Geothermal Energy - challenging conventional approaches and exploring what's next to maximise geothermal's transformational impact.

Now in its fifth year, the seminar continues to serve as a valued event for sharing research, operational insights, and next-generation innovations that are taking geothermal energy to its maximum potential.

Join us in March 2026 to engage with thought leaders and trailblazers driving this exciting energy transformation as we push boundaries, optimise performance, and accelerate toward a sustainable energy future.

HYBRID EVENT

After the success of our hybrid event in 2025, we will continue to offer delegates the opportunity to choose between in-person attendance in Aberdeen, or online via the virtual events platform. Due to the high demand for in-person attendance in 2025, the 2026 Seminar will be hosted in a larger venue with more capacity.

Both ticket options allow delegates to watch all the presentations live as they happen, as well as offering the opportunity to be involved in any interactive elements, such as Q&A sessions and polls.

In-person attendance includes additional networking opportunities, refreshments and lunch across the 2 days of the event.
