Dear Community!
hope you are enjoying the summer. Appealing to the power of people here.
We are planning to run an in-person event (50 attendees maximum) for a community with an invited guest (Author). The event will include a fire-side chat with the Author and then 1 hour of networking drinks. Here's the brief description:
"Energy is the biggest contributor to emissions and most energy is wasted; about 75% is lost in extraction conversion and transportation. When we look at the reasons behind geopolitical conflicts, such as in Ukraine and Taiwan, we understand that we are competing for resources. Meanwhile we are wasting most of them. Climate, energy, and geopolitics are intrinsically linked. This session will tackle:
- How to translate these into investment themes and business strategies
- What it means for energy commodities and capital markets#
- What you can do about it"
Would your organisation consider hosting us and letting us use your venue/conference room? We will emphasize this and shout out about our collaboration on social media to boost your organisations' marketing.
If you have other ideas on where we could seek hosted venue, I will look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you very much.
