S&P Global Energy RedThread Meridian Festival

One Year. One Globe. One Continuous Thread.

One year ago, S&P Global Energy RedThread launched with a simple goal: to connect the people, ideas, and conversations shaping global commodities markets.

Complete the form to register for the 24-hour global virtual experience and gain access to live sessions, interactive challenges, expert discussions, and festival content from around the world.

To celebrate our first anniversary on July 15, we're bringing that community together for the RedThread Meridian Festival, a 24-hour virtual journey following the sun across Oceania, Asia-Pacific, EMEA, and the Americas.

This is not your typical industry event. Across one global broadcast, you'll experience debates, documentary-style showcases, interactive challenges, market myth-busting, expert storytelling, and conversations that connect commodities, energy, trade, technology, and culture.

Whether you join for a single session or stay with us across regions, you'll become part of a global community bound by a single continuous thread.
