What are the energy experts talking about when they gather? Have a seat at the table with industry leaders on June 2 in Houston. This year, the much-anticipated, 14th annual Energy Capital Conference brings leading industry insiders and forecasters together in roundtable discussions on the plays, capital, and U.S. and global political and economic dynamics that will most affect energy companies’ bottom lines and RORs in the coming and next year.

Hear the consistently “on the money” decision-makers and advisors Henry Groppe, Tom Edelman, Dan Pickering, Art Smith and more, joined by the playmakers and aggregators, including John Walker, Mike Linn, Bob Reeves, OAO Novatek’s Mark Gyetvay.

And, from the capital providers who fund drilling and M&A, including UTIMCO’s Mark Warner, TIAA-CREF’s Lisa Ferraro and Kleiner Perkins’ Mike Long.

On the menu? Implications for exporting U.S. gas; contrarian M&A; forward JV deal-making; nontraditional sources of energy capital, such as from Bill Gates; margin-making energy geopolitics in the U.S. and abroad; a new way to measure ROI; and much more. Developed by the play-news-breaking editors of Oil and Gas Investor magazine, it’s the above-average event for the above-average energy professional. Reserve your seat at the table today at EnergyCapitalWeek.com and hear from these experts, including economist/humorist Ben Stein:
