Join us at Columbia University's Innovation Hub on September 23rd for an intimate gathering of brilliant minds passionate about engineering the 2050 energy transition. Sixty seats, six roundtables — and only 30 spots remain open.
Dive into focused discussions on the topics shaping the future: Grid Efficiency & Digitalization, Renewable Energy Integration & Storage, Industrial Decarbonization, Transition Finance, the Hydrogen Economy, and Transportation & Building Electrification. Exchange fresh ideas, challenge assumptions, and connect with senior leaders and innovators driving real change across energy, finance, industry, and policy.
This is a small room by design — the perfect setting to get inspired, collaborate, and spark new projects in a candid, collegial atmosphere.
Can't join in person? The Opening Keynote and Closing Synthesis will be livestreamed free to all registered virtual attendees, with recordings available after.
Don't miss your seat at the table — secure your spot and help unlock the future of energy with fellow innovators.
Co-Hosted with the Columbia Advanced Electrification Center & Event One Solutions International.
