Building a Sustainable Future: The Global Energy Transition 2024 | The Conference Board (TCB) | 16 May 2024 | New York Marriott Marquis, 1535 Broadway, New York, NY 10036, USA

The renewable energy transition holds great promise for business: According to research from The Conference Board, nearly 60% of C-suite executives around the globe say it will be good for their companies, and approximately 70% of both business and consumers factor environmental sustainability into their spending decisions.

At the same time, the transition to renewable energy promises to be expensive, disruptive, politicized, and disorganized. It will require not only a greater degree of collaboration between the public and private sectors, but also more effective partnerships within the private sector. For each company, it will have significant implications for business strategy, operations, finance, technology, workforce, investor relations, communications, and governance.

But the transition to renewable energy is also essential. It is at the heart of reducing GHG emissions, which is central to slowing climate change, which in turn is key to human and environmental health.

You will not want to miss this event, which will be the most comprehensive and insightful event of 2024. Unlike other gatherings, it will feature not only leading speakers from the government and industry, but also confidential, Chatham House Rule roundtable conversations among participants. By attending and participating in the conversation, you will come away with actionable insights, connections, and an even better game plan for taking advantage of the opportunities created by the global energy transition.
