Build global connections with researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders.

Your guide to the GHGT-18 social programme

Some of the most valuable exchanges at GHGT happen between the sessions rather than during them. With that in mind, GHGT-18 includes three social and networking events across the week, each offering a chance to connect with the wider CCS community. You will find the details for the welcome reception, student reception and gala dinner below.

Welcome Reception

Sunday 25 October 2026

There is no better way to begin GHGT-18 than high above the city as the light fades over the Swan River. Our welcome reception takes place in a spectacular setting, with a menu built around Western Australia’s finest seasonal produce. A complimentary shuttle bus will run from Crown, so all you need to do is arrive, find a familiar face or an unfamiliar one, and let the week begin. Generously sponsored by Woodside Energy.

Student Reception

Tuesday 27 October 2026

Swap your posters for a sunset on the Swan. This reception brings students and IEAGHG Summer School alumni together for an evening of fun and conversation. The venue is set on the banks of the Swan River, a short walk from the conference. It is a relaxed chance to meet your peers away from the formality of the technical programme, and to build the connections that can last a lifetime. Generously sponsored by TotalEnergies.

Gala Dinner

Wednesday 28 October 2026

The social highlight of the GHGT-18 conference, our gala dinner unfolds in one of Perth’s striking riverside venues, with sweeping views of the city and the water beyond. Award-winning in-house chefs will serve a menu showcasing the flavours and produce of Western Australia, accompanied by the conversations that carry on long after the final session. Join us to celebrate the research, the community, and the progress made together. Generously sponsored by JERA.
