The Energy Business Summit brings together leaders from major companies to discuss business opportunities and challenges surrounding the energy transition. During the October 2024 Energy Business Summit, Director Shon Hiatt and Dean Geoffrey Garrett offered opening remarks. In the morning sessions panelists discussed mining & metals, wind energy, hydrocarbon energy, and natural gas & LNG. Wil VanLoh, CEO and Founder of Quantum Capital, spoke on energy security and the practical realities of the energy transition. In the afternoon panelists addressed energy finance, hydrogen, and artificial intelligence (AI) & energy demand. Closing remarks were offered by Darpan Kapadia, COO of LS Power. Watch the proceedings from our inaugural Energy Business Summit where we discussed how we can make energy more accessible, safer, reliable, cleaner, and affordable for the future.
