This year's summit, titled “Resilience in Energy Supply Chains,” focused on the complex set of trade-offs shaping the future of energy and how markets, innovation, and economic growth will ultimately define the continuing evolution of global energy supply chains. The two-day event featured international and domestic perspectives that highlight a variety of issues, from incumbent to nascent energy supply chains across the global landscape.
