The event will kickoff with a keynote presentation from Dr. Jon Creyts, CEO of Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI).

Keynote Presentation - Back to the Future: Building Our Next Energy System
We're in a moment of energy disruption... & we've been here before. Oil shocks & electrification waves have shaped our collective history. But alongside today's data center surge, cooling needs, electrification drive, & access demands, we have new solutions to tap. Cost-competitive clean technologies, upgradable intelligence, & demand integration can offer a path to abundance beyond the current scarcity crunch.
Jump in our biofuel-fed DeLorean & take a global tour across the US, India, China, & Africa, looking at four distinct transitions, & make sense of where opportunity & competitive advantage are emerging in a world that is poised to reinvent our energy system like never before.
