We are pleased to welcome you to the Tribal Energy Summit, taking place April 29 – May 1, 2026, in Houston, TX. The event venue will be shared at a later date. A limited number of exhibitors will be able to set up on April 28th. Requests to exhibit can be made during the registration process.

We are excited to once again bring together Tribal Nations, energy industry leaders, and federal partners for a strategic and collaborative discussion on the role of Tribal lands in advancing national energy goals. Held in the energy capital of the world, the Summit will provide updates on the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ priorities that support the future of energy development in Indian Country.  

These priorities aim to streamline the review and approval of energy projects – including exploration, leasing, siting, development, production, transportation, refining, and generation—while upholding Tribal sovereignty and supporting community-driven growth. The Summit will foster intergovernmental coordination, information sharing, and collaboration across Federal, Tribal, and Industry regulatory frameworks. 

Key topics will include: 

• Mineral Agreement Options: Indian Mineral Development Act  

• Tribal Self Governance opportunities: Tribal Energy Resource Agreements 

• Capacity Building for Oil and Gas development 

• Energy Industry and Investment Activities 

• Opportunities in energy development 

We look forward to your participation in this important conversation and to working together to advance energy security and economic opportunity on Tribal lands.
