Detailed Description



Theme: “Energy Strategy for 5, 10 and 15 years”





Conclave Context

The need for energy is growing at a remarkable pace both in the developed world and in the developing world. Which energy strategy should the US adopt to fulfill needs here in the US and in the global markets? Which areas have the biggest and most tangible business opportunities?

We are looking forward to a powerful discussion with:

• Dr. Ramanan Krishnamoorti, Chief Energy Officer, University of Houston



Conclave Format

Our conclaves are intense discussions between speakers and attendees, with the goal of having 80% of the attendees contribute. That is a challenging goal, however, when it happens — it is absolute magic!

At the Houston Strategy Forum, we facilitate a closed door, no press, Chatham House Rules, safe zone for candid discussions. Real discussions — no fluff. It is a vigorous format unlike anything else.

Why Attend?

Engage with leaders in a thought-provoking, intense discussion on energy strategy. Let’s have the hard discussion and get all the issues on the table. Register now.

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.
