City Series

The program brings the benefits of connection and collaboration to various cities in North America.

These exclusive one-day geographically-specific events bring together subject matter experts, policy makers, socio-environmental representatives, and C-level leaders from all stages of the energy value chain to connect and form partnerships through in-depth discussion of the energy market’s role in the economy and the world at large.

The initiative was designed to inspire new ideas and innovative plans to add value to all stakeholders, as well as the regions in which these events take place. Each event focuses on various aspects of the role energy plays in the world and is followed up with an in-depth report published by our academic partner.
