Beyond the Pandemic: Social, Political and Economic Change
Colorado, and our country, have changed greatly over the past 18 months. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cast a long shadow, changing how we live and work, but an increased awareness of social and economic justice also is changing how we view policy, politics, and the path forward. Bold predictions have been made of what the “new normal” may look like, but what will be the key take-aways from this historic period? What are the permanent shifts and what are simply the passing trends?

Investing in the New Energy Space
As the investment community evolves, we are seeing a new focus that looks beyond the bottom line. Shareholder value is now more than just a dollar figure and realigns value with values. The oil and natural gas industry has a prominent role to play in meeting these values while still helping investors plan for their financial futures. We will hear from industry and financial leaders about reaching these investors through environmental, social, and governance updates and how to better tell the story of Colorado’s leading advancements and regulations.

Mitigating GHGs – Challenges, Opportunities and a Realistic Path Forward
Carbon sequestration and other technological advances have evolved from theoretical applications to more technologically feasible solutions in recent years. But what is considered economically achievable can vary, based on the time frame, geology, and location? Some companies have taken measurable steps forward, revealing both challenges and opportunities. Efforts to mitigate GHGs is gaining traction in policy debates and in board rooms, and industry leaders must consider their own path forward, understanding the risks, benefits, and regulatory considerations where they operate. Knowing these realities will help determine a project’s likelihood for success and secure the necessary support from the communities where these new technologies are implemented.

Courageous leaders in the industry are challenging themselves with meaningful strides to move DEI from simply an initiative with a fixed starting and end point to instead a broader goal of creating a lasting culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This session will explore the developing practices in establishing direction, assembling the right team, and looking for partners to support the organization’s DEI goals both inside and outside of the company.
