Detailed Description



Theme: “Challenges, Intricacies and Benefits of a CCS Project”





Conclave Context

Climate Change won’t wait. Nor should we!

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) for heavy industries is critical for economic and climate resilience. CCS focused on heavy industry is a highly effective way to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment.

Today’s CCS projects are pioneering the way for the future. The lessons learned will help us manage carbon emissions effectively.

How should companies manage CCS project dynamics under the Trump Administration?

We are looking forward to a powerful discussion with:

• Mr. James Gay, Project Manager CCUS, Storegga



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. 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.
