About the SPE North American Student Symposium

The SPE North America Student Symposium is an annual student conference organized by SPE International students across North America. The symposium presents an opportunity for students to enhance their knowledge of the oil and gas industry through the insights and experiences of industry leaders and advocates. It also provides participants with a myriad of networking opportunities, as students, faculty, and industry experts from around North America will be participating. The theme for this year’s symposium is to be determined shortly.

The 2027 North America PetroBowl competition will be held in conjunction with the North America Student Symposium. For information regarding the 2027 PetroBowl, kindly contact Jillian Thomas.
