21st Annual Columbia University Energy Symposium

The global energy transition is entering its decisive decade — and the Columbia Energy Symposium is where its future takes shape. Join 300+ leaders, innovators, and emerging changemakers for a day of big ideas and bold conversations on the technologies, policies, and capital strategies driving the shift to a net-zero world.

This year’s program spans five cutting-edge panels, fireside chats with leading voices from government and industry, and keynotes on the forces reshaping the global energy landscape — from AI and grid innovation to geopolitics, industrial decarbonization, and emerging market leadership. Plus: a high-impact career fair, curated networking lunch, and alumni reception designed to connect talent with opportunity.

Confirmed Speakers:

• Mr. Carl Coe, Chief of Staff at the US Department of Energy
• Mr. Rory Christian, Chair and CEO of the NY Public Service Commission
