Conference Tracks and Innovation Series

The traditional energy track will focus on the future of oil and gas with topics including shale gas, oil and gas M&A, and power markets and infrastructure in emerging markets.

The alternative energy track will explore key trends in solar energy, opportunities in grid storage, and innovations in building energy efficiency.

The regulatory, policy and finance track will delve into the most relevant energy policy issues in the United States, China and Latin America as well as explore investing opportunities across the energy spectrum.

Our Innovation Series will address cutting edge topics in energy in a somewhat different format than traditional panels.

The Wharton Alumni panel, will challenge three distinguished Wharton alums with questions aiming to ‘connect the dots’ regarding the future of energy.
