Detailed Description





Symposium Context

The year 2020 saw the advent of a keen focus and interest in ESG and decarbonization. It has been three years since and we are seeing a normalization of that intense, perhaps, frenzied focus.

ESG is no longer making headlines. Electric vehicles demand growth is tapering. The biggest fund managers are taking a more balanced and nuanced approach to energy investments, as opposed to throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

In some states, local governments are successful in disallowing new energy projects. On the other hand, EPA has granted primacy to Louisiana. As industries and governments push forward, new energy technology and pioneering projects are charging ahead.

As we look at all the moving parts, what are the ground realities? How do we take stock of the last three years? What is working and what is not? Where should we focus for the biggest and fastest impact?

Why Attend?

Engage with new-energy leaders in a thought-provoking and intense discussion on the questions facing decarbonization. We facilitate a closed-door, safe zone for candid discussions. Real discussions — no fluff. Register now.

We are looking forward to a powerful discussion with:

Our Unique Format

What Makes Us Different?





Houston Strategy Forum events are innovative. No speeches. No PowerPoint presentations. They are open and down-to-earth discussions with our speakers. Our format is a relaxed, intimate, fireside-style chat. And, always unscripted!



Over the years, we have had top CEOs and executives share their deepest thoughts and feelings that you would never hear in a regular conference. We respect and value that interaction greatly — it is what makes us the preeminent discussion forum.



Our business talk show format facilitates an energetic, meaningful, and respectful exchange of ideas between our speakers and attendees. Our goal is to get a majority of the attendees to contribute to the discussion. When that happens — it creates magic!



We receive rave reviews about our format both from our speakers and attendees.

To encourage an open and candid discussion we follow Chatham House rules.
