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?  This panel of experts will unpack the lasting impacts from a political, social, and economic perspective and share thoughts of how we map our future.

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.

Creating a Culture of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Strategies for Success
​Many industries, including oil and gas, are taking a critical look at their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts after a difficult reckoning of the systemic barriers that still exist in our society and organizations.  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.

Combating Climate Change Together ​
​Everything we do each day has an impact on our environment – from driving cars, growing, and consuming food, building, or remodeling our homes and providing the power to make it all happen. The oil and natural gas industry in Colorado is taking bold, proactive steps toward sustainability and cleaning our air to ensure we have a long and thriving future. We are not alone in this endeavor, with many other like-minded industries in the state showing their leadership and making major changes to lower their emissions and shrink their footprints.  This panel will feature our partners in progress, focusing on our collective efforts to combat climate change and integrate strategies within current regulatory efforts.
