E501 – Nick Samain, Inside Calgary’s Global Energy Show: Uniting Innovation, Policy, and World Markets
“There’s close to 1,000,000,000, people that just don’t have access to reliable energy.”
Nick Samain has spent more than a decade building DMG’s presence across North America—and leading the evolution of Calgary’s Global Energy Show. What started as a petroleum-focused trade show is now a vital cross-section of the global energy conversation. Nick shares what it means to curate programming that tackles energy security, diversification, and domestic leadership—while attracting international pavilions and stakeholders from around the world. He also explains how the Global Energy Show serves as a space for debate, discovery, and connection. With 30,000+ attendees and a new executive conference hosted by Peter Mansbridge, this year’s event isn’t just a trade show—it’s a strategic inflection point for Canada’s energy future.
