## Resource

CERAWeek anchored its 2026 theme around the title, "Convergence and Competition: Energy, Technology and Geopolitics," when the event hosted more than 12,000 participants in Houston this March. A palpable tension – unrelated to the energy event itself – also permeated this year's conference as travelers tried to time their departures for Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport with enough cushion to account for multi-hour TSA wait times. CERAWeek Executive Director Naki Mendoza joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss some of the biggest takeaways from CERAWeek 2026.
