Southwest Land Institute
The 2024 Southwest Land Institute was a sold-out grand slam that featured first-class education, fun networking and America’s pastime in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Industry leaders provided professional development, covering essential topics relevant to the region, including an Ark-La-Tex legislative update, artificial intelligence, lithium mining and more. Look for another installment of this institute in late summer 2025!
Women in Energy Institute
Hundreds of women and men from over 14 states gathered in Houston for the second edition of AAPL’s Women in Energy Institute at the ZaZa Hotel in Houston's Museum District. With over one-third of attendees being nonmembers, WiEI truly was made for energy professionals of all disciplines and provided many opportunities to make new, unique connections and participate in three educational tracks. Watch for this institute to return in early fall 2025!
Gulf Coast Land Institute
The 2024 Gulf Coast Land Institute returned to Lafayette, Louisiana, with record-setting attendance. The sold-out institute focused on hot issues relevant to the region, including geothermal rights, oil and gas unitization in Louisiana, witness preparation, offshore GOM and CCUS in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, among others. Plans are underway to host this event in the Bayou in the fall of 2025!
Denver Land Institute
The 51st edition of the Denver Land Institute reached capacity at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton in downtown Denver. Over 200 energy professionals joined the event either in person or virtually. After a full day of education, attendees enjoyed fun networking at the exciting Rockies Bash at Wynkoop Brewing. We hope to see you in the fall of 2025 when we bring this institute back to the Rockies!
Oklahoma Energy Institute
The inaugural Oklahoma Energy Institute was open to all energy disciplines and featured two tracks — Petro-Technical Foundations and Business. A sold-out crowd of attendees enjoyed sessions on AI and technological innovations in land, operations in drilling and completions, energy marketing, federal delegation and a special executive panel with CEOs representing upstream, midstream and downstream. Look for this institute to be added to the late fall lineup in 2025.
