Politico Energy Summit: At a Crossroads
The future of energy faces a crossroads in 2024 as policymakers and industry leaders shape new rules, investments and technologies. Join POLITICO’s Energy Summit as we convene top voices to examine the shifting global policy environment in a year of major elections in the U.S. and around the world. POLITICO will examine how governments are writing and rewriting new rules for the energy future and America’s own role as a major exporter.
We invite you to help us take a closer look at the impact and effectiveness of major public and private investments shaping the U.S. energy sector and our global competitiveness. We will delve into policy conversation around the most promising emerging technologies poised to transform our energy mix and carbon footprint.
