For the second consecutive year, the Baker Institute Center for Energy Studies and Baker Botts L.L.P. co-hosted their annual energy summit. This year’s event provided a forum for key market players and decision-makers to discuss the future of the dynamic energy industry, ranging from oil and gas to electricity, renewables and technology.
The summit featured more than a dozen speakers from the oil, gas and power industries, including prominent corporate leaders and energy industry experts from finance, investment and law. The program included panels, keynote speeches and an armchair session that addressed revolutions in energy and how economics, policy and technology are driving change across all energy markets.
