American Energy Society's Event Series
The premier energy event series dedicated to
transformational energy solutions.
Every region has an energy cluster – the existing network of state and local leaders who know the details of ongoing initiatives and how to leverage them, those who know how to capitalize on the intersections between business, universities and government, and who have intimate knowledge of their own regional competitive advantages, state economic structures, and local assets.
To strengthen regional energy clusters around the country, the American Energy Society will team with leading energy centers to host a series of collaborative, innovative Energy Events, "Local Energy-America's Power."
Professionals, thought leaders and local stakeholders will have full access to the event as well as live and archived webinar broadcasts and post-event publications.
Stakeholders will have opportunities to craft solutions relevant to their region while diverse audiences from a variety of professions will have the opportunity to hear about and speak to new ideas.'"
Tomorrow Just Happened...
Carbon Capture Congressional Briefing, Washington D.C. March 3, 2017
