2026 TJOGEL Symposium Overview
Presented by the Texas Journal of Oil, Gas, and Energy Law, the 2026 TJOGEL Symposium is on Thursday, February 5th and Friday, February 6th.
​
This year's symposium will be in a "hybrid" format, with the Symposium being held in person at the Austin Public Library and streamed simultaneously on Zoom. That said, we encourage all participants to join us in person! Registration fees for in-person and Zoom participation are the same.
