The 1.5-day energy conference is tailored to the needs of environmental managers and their teams, covering a range of topics and roundtable discussions such as emerging issues, MGP, and decommissioning.

Reimagine, Redesign, Renew

A note from the committee:
This year we are introducing a series of three words that we feel embody the purpose of the conference and put out a call to action for industry professionals. Reimagine. Redesign. Renew. To us, these words are about continuous improvement, adaptation, and leadership in environmental stewardship. We seek to:

  • Reimagine energy’s future through insightful panels, government updates, and visionary dialogue.
  • Redesign industry practices through interactive discussions, best-practice sharing, and learning.
  • Renew a commitment to environmental leadership by forging partnerships during networking events, exploring new technologies, and driving real-world solutions.
