The Energy Summit is unique in its focus on both the external environment and aligning best practices to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Based on the unmatched caliber of the speakers, the volume of highly qualified and connected attendees, and the great opportunity for networking with the best in our industry, I would highly recommend that any employees involved in the oil and gas industry attend the Energy Summit. The Summit provides a unique opportunity for employees to engage with leaders in the industry and to learn about the most current developments in our fast-paced political and regulatory environment, and for these reasons the experience is one that I encourage my employees to attend every year. - Jamie Jost, Jost Energy Law
