Key Activities
SPE Netherlands Member Meetings
The core of our activities are our member meetings. We host 8-10 meetings every year. Through the SPE's Distinguished Lecturers Program, we are able to offer you the very best technical presentations from all over the world right here in The Netherlands. Local presentations also give you the possibility to get to know a little bit more about what is moving on the peak of technological development right here in The Netherlands.
Member meetings start with a social hour and end with a dinner, nicely encapsulating the technical content with excellent networking opportunities. Typically, the meetings are visited by 30-60 people, including student members.
SPE NL & PGK BBQ
Every year in June we organize an energy theme BBQ at Scheveningen beach together with the PGK. It’s one of the key events that has become a staple of our offerings. It’s opportunity to network, learn and connect with like minded people. It always includes two lectures from top industry players. The perfect way to start the summer.
SPE NL Young Professionals
The SPE Netherlands Young Professionals Program offers Young Professional members a dedicated programme of workshops, lectures, excursions and general networking events. For those under 36 years of age, who aim to be ahead of the game, broaden their horizon or stay in touch with peers from the industry, we are pleased to welcome you to one of our events.
SPE Netherlands Black Tie Candlelight Dinner Dance Event
The annual SPE Netherlands Black Tie Candlelight Dinner Dance Event is our largest event during the year. The combined dinner and dance event is held in January at an exclusive venue close to The Hague, and is visited by roughly 300 delegates.
