This event focuses on one of the most important topics facing us as a human civilization today, the future of energy. What will we pursue in the generation to come? How will we reduce our reliance on traditional fuels? What innovations are being considered today and which are most feasible?

These are just a sampling of the topics that will be covered, with the event hosting several prominent speakers from the local community.

By having open, honest, hard looks at our lives today and where we want our future to take us, we can not only pursue individual goals, but collaborate to bring about greater change in our society. The goal of this event is to raise awareness about many of the amazing efforts that are currently being undertaken and promote the topic of energy in a positive way, realizing the vast potential that awaits us as a human race and how our ingenuity will lead us to a sustainable future.
