NCEW has announced an updated Symposium run of show following a slight of high-profile speaker confirmations. It’s comprised of a number of experienced elected leaders and energy industry advocates.
The Symposium & Demonstration Fair serves as the centerpiece of NCEW’s week-long activity in Washington. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, Senator Lindsey Graham, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Congressman Derek Kilmer, and former U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte will address participants on public policy and engage in conversation during morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) sessions.
The symposium, which will be livestreamed on NCEW’s YouTube page here, will also include three panel discussions with participants representing NCEW’s Steering Committee that will expand on how to advance support of our nation’s energy sector through new methods of market development, policy change, and technological innovation.
