"Houston demonstrated to the
world how to do hard things. From groundbreaking energy solutions
to decisive climate action, we've made progress toward a
sustainable future in our labs, on the streets, and within our
community," explained Katie Mehnert
and Juliana Garaizar, the event
co-chairs.
The week showcased 85 self-organized events throughout the
Houston region, including multiple
industries -- from energy to medicine to consumer goods, hosting
workshops, panel discussions, and celebrations that welcomed
diverse participants, including industry professionals, the media,
investors, entrepreneurs, and the public. Attendees engaged in
significant talks on emerging technologies in the oil and gas
sector, renewable energy innovations, advancements in climate
policy, capital raising, sustainability in consumer goods, and the
essential role of community involvement. This self-organization
approach fostered collective ownership and active participation,
making everyone a stakeholder in the energy transition. Events were
in person, online, or hybrid.
A notable outcome was establishing new partnerships to foster
innovative solutions and attract external capital to address energy
challenges. "I am thrilled with our volunteers, partners, and
sponsors' impact in this first year. Our goal was to initiate
constructive, pragmatic conversations, forge valuable connections,
and highlight the remarkable achievements in Houston. We hoped for 30 events with 1000
people and 1MM impressions. In true Houston style, we surpassed our goals and
expectations - by miles! We, and I mean all of Houston and our partners worldwide, are ready
for what next year, " said Lindsay
Roe, the President of Allies in Energy.
