Join us for the 12th Annual Duke University Energy Conference on Wednesday, Nov. 11​ ​featuring virtual keynote presentations, moderated discussions, and networking sessions with industry experts. This free online event series will focus on the 2020 theme of “Upheaval and Resilience.”

We invite energy professionals, students, and thought leaders to join us to reflect on the disruptions that the energy sector has encountered in recent months – and to learn from individuals, companies, and institutions who have responded to these changes with resilience. Industry experts will share insights on how to adapt in the face of pandemic-related disruptions as well as climate change’s intensifying impacts and the need for more just and equitable approaches to energy systems.
