IMAGE 2025 Marks Five Years of Growth, Connecting Nearly 8,000 Geoscience and Energy Leaders Worldwide

HOUSTON, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Meeting for Applied Geoscience and Energy (IMAGE), jointly hosted by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), and the Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM), successfully concluded its fifth edition at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.

IMAGE '25 welcomed 7,897 attendees from 93 countries, reflecting five consecutive years of growth and reinforcing its role as the premier multidisciplinary event for geoscience and energy professionals.

Bringing together geophysicists, geologists, engineers, academics, and industry leaders, IMAGE provided a unique platform for knowledge-sharing, innovation, and collaboration. More than 1,100 technical presentations across 292 sessions showcased cutting-edge research and technologies, while an exhibition featuring 212 companies and 61,000+ square feet of space highlighted solutions spanning oil and gas, carbon management, geothermal, digitalization, and global energy opportunities.

Attendees rated IMAGE highly for both content and connections: 92% of participants rated the event "good to excellent," and 91% praised its networking opportunities, underscoring IMAGE's influence as a hub for advancing science and business alike.

IMAGE continues to grow as a global stage where companies, researchers, and students can engage directly with the international energy community. With more than 93 nations represented and a growing focus on energy transition topics—including carbon capture, geothermal, and digital technologies—IMAGE provides a vital opportunity for geoscience professionals and organizations to build visibility and partnerships on a global scale.

"IMAGE has become the go-to platform for innovation and collaboration across the entire geoscience spectrum," said Jim White, Executive Director of SEG. "We are proud to see the event grow year after year and to welcome such a diverse international audience, including emerging voices from Africa and beyond."

"IMAGE has become the place where geoscience meets what's coming next," said Tom Wilker, Executive Director of AAPG. "From carbon management and geothermal to exploration and data science, the conversations here show just how essential geoscience is to solving the world's energy challenges."

Looking ahead, IMAGE 2026 will take place 24–27 August in Houston, Texas, with expanded opportunities for exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees worldwide.
