About ATCE

We are proud to have the 2023 edition of the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) return to San Antonio at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, a world-class convention venue located in the heart of this modern vibrant city. The event will embrace the conference's heritage of excellence, drawing on the expertise of leading international oil and gas professionals.

The technical program will feature the highest caliber peer-selected papers in the industry and sessions covering current applications and emerging technologies within all phases of E&P. The conference will provide an unparalleled opportunity for learning and collaboration at workshops, forums, and training courses, while the concurrent exhibition will showcase the latest technologies from around the world.

Whether your goal is to cultivate relationships or spotlight your brand on the industry's grandest stage, stake your presence where the industry's present and future torchbearers will come together—at ATCE 2023.

Since the first edition 99 years ago, ATCE has attracted the E&P industry's greatest minds from around the globe. Reflecting our global industry, ATCE is becoming an increasingly important international event. Florence hosted ATCE in 2008, Amsterdam hosted the conference in 2014, and in 2023, SPE returns to San Antonio for the 9th time.

Training courses held before and after ATCE draw attendees seeking to boost their expertise. The conference features special events designed for students and young professionals, trendsetters, and leaders in the making.

SPE's strong affiliation with leading companies in the oil and gas business is reflected in the industry categories represented by SPE members, many of whom attend ATCE.
