Our 2024-25 schedule is building and we are excited about some of the topics coming your way. If you are a presenter, please feel free to complete the online form. If you want to learn more about a topic, let us know.
Keep checking back because our schedule is routinely updated.
We are thrilled to announce the creation of an inspirational new Women in Energy Mentorship Program!
The energy industry shapes the world we live in, and women play a pivotal role in creating that future. That’s why we’re bringing together a circle of empowered female mentors and mentees who will uplift one another to new heights.
Learn more about this new program by joining the zoom call on March 13 at 12:30.
The mission of the Women in Energy Mentorship Program is to embolden rising stars and encourage them to harness their innate strengths, amplify their voices with courage, and step into their calling as leaders in the energy revolution.
Pamela Morrissey, Cargas, is spearheading this new program and will lead this presentation.
“When women support each other, magic happens. We can’t wait for you to be a part of this spark and this sisterhood.”
For leaders in the energy industry, the challenge of building robust teams and nurturing client relationships often poses a stumbling block. In today’s technical world, possession technical skills alone is no longer enough.
To truly thrive, we must also cultivate our human skills – those qualities that connect us to our humanity, define our personalities, and enable us to communicate and interact effectively with others.
By developing emotional intelligence, you will transition from being task-focused managers to empathetic and inspiring leaders. This transformation will not only improve team performance and project outcomes but also create a positive and thriving work environment, leading your organization toward greater success and growth.

About the Presentation: One person thinks AI is amazing. The next person thinks it’s really scary. The truth is, they’re both right. Ashley Campbell of Warm Thoughts Communications will introduce attendees to the world of AI and how it is already transforming the way fuel energy companies need to be doing business and promoting their offerings. In this webinar, Ashley will pull back the curtain on how companies can be developing an AI-driven communication strategy to increase sales and services your company offers.
