The Qnect Event Series Transforms Energy Conversations Globally

This year over 300 of Quorum’s global partners were motivated and inspired by new data-driven strategies and best practices at the 2024 Qnect Event Series. Each event drew over 750 attendees across the globe and embodied the vision of inspiring performance together as an extension of their annual Las Vegas and Barcelona-based Qnections conferences.

The industry’s brightest minds were all brought into the same room in various cities for invaluable conversations and insights; product updates; and innovative solutions tailored to local industry needs. Quorum’s commitment to transforming the energy sector through innovation and collaboration was reinforced in Houston, Calgary, Kuala Lumpur, and finally in London.
