Energy Futures Conference
Speakers
The world is in the midst of a global energy crisis of unprecedented breadth and complexity. With the energy system remaining vulnerable, a key question is whether the current crisis will be a setback for the clean energy transition or will catalyse faster action?
We are pleased to invite you to our inaugural Bird & Bird Energy Futures Conference, which will seek to deliberate on and answer that question. Looking to the opportunities as well as the challenges to be overcome we will assess the policy, regulatory and legal environment which will enable us to find a path out of this crisis and look to the future of the energy system.
The event will be broken into three sessions:
Programme
| 13:00 - 13:30 | Arrival and refreshments (in-person only) |
| 13:30 - 17:30 |
The conference will consist of three parts: |
| 1. Plenary Session |
Keynote speeches from senior personnel and thought leaders on the future of the energy system. Speakers:

| 2. Legal Thought Leadership on the Future of Energy |
In this session we will discuss legal macro trends ranging from policy and regulation to the impact of new technology. Bird & Bird sector experts will share insights on topics from trade and state aid, risk management, tax, new transactional structures, cyber and AI, IP and employment through the lens of the energy transition. |

New policies in major markets are set to propel annual clean energy investment to more than USD 2 trillion annually by 2030, however, much more remains to be done. As these efforts gather momentum our Energy Futures Conference will bring the sector together as a broad coalition to examine how we create a secure and sustainable energy system over the next decade.
We would be delighted if you could join us in-person or online on Tuesday 13 June for an afternoon of interesting discussions focused on the Energy Transition, led by the leading lights in the industry.
