WHO ATTENDS

The room that changes everything

ENERGY & INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION

Rewiring global energy and industrial systems for electrification, decarbonization, and scalable growth.

WHO YOU’LL MEET
Energy utility executives, grid operators, clean power developers, industrial OEMs, infrastructure investors, federal energy program leads, and the startups they're evaluating.

It is the centrepiece of the world’s largest resilience economy gathering — in front of 10,000 people who have the capital, the contracts, and the connections to change your company’s future.
