Detailed Description





Symposium Context

In recent years, Energy Evolution and Decarbonization have received intense focus and attention. Companies have made a wide range of bets from renewable energy farms, direct air capture of CO2 to hydrogen production to get a piece of the $100 Trillion energy evolution market.

Many larger companies have embraced a strategy of “All the Above.” Is such a strategy still the most effective or could it lead to mediocre results? Is now the time to refine the bets or is too early in the cycle? If it is time to become selective, how would you make sure your company is making the right bets?

Many smaller companies are making significant progress as specialists in one area. They are going all-in on one of the bets. Specialist (bakery or wine store) or generalist (full-fledged grocery store) — which strategy would you recommend to your company? Which factors would you consider in making that strategic recommendation?

Join us at the symposium to brainstorm vigorously the ultimate strategies to win big in this $100 Trillion market.

Why Attend?

The decarbonization marketplace is changing fast. A wrong bet can prove to be expensive and a huge distraction. Engage with decarbonization pioneers in a closed-door, intense discussion on the bets, the opportunities, and the risks.

At the Houston Strategy Forum, we have real discussions — no fluff. Register now.

We are looking forward to a powerful discussion with:

Our Unique Format

What Makes Us Different?





Houston Strategy Forum events are innovative. No speeches. No PowerPoint presentations. They are open and down-to-earth discussions with our speakers. Our format is a relaxed, intimate, fireside-style chat. And, always unscripted!



Over the years, we have had top CEOs and executives share their deepest thoughts and feelings that you would never hear in a regular conference. We respect and value that interaction greatly — it is what makes us the preeminent discussion forum.



Our business talk show format facilitates an energetic, meaningful, and respectful exchange of ideas between our speakers and attendees. Our goal is to get a majority of the attendees to contribute to the discussion. When that happens — it creates magic!



We receive rave reviews about our format both from our speakers and attendees.

To encourage an open and candid discussion we follow Chatham House rules.
