Houston remains the global epicenter of the energy industry—rooted in its oil and gas legacy while rapidly advancing toward a more sustainable and diversified energy future.

As the industry navigates economic headwinds, policy shifts, and rising demand for cleaner technologies, this panel will explore how today’s leaders are balancing immediate market realities with long-term strategies for innovation, resilience, and transformation.

Join us for a powerful discussion on Houston’s pivotal role in the global energy transition—from reinforcing legacy infrastructure to advancing renewables, hydrogen, carbon capture, and emerging tech solutions.
