THE JACKSON HOLE
SUMMIT

CLIMATE & THE CLEAN ENERGY REVOLUTION
COMING IN SUMMER OF 2024

With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and additional historic legislation there is a generational opportunity to act on climate, scale new industries, and reinvent energy communities.

 

The Jackson Hole Summit will be a unique gathering that accelerates action - bringing together leading entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors, policy makers, foundations, and energy-producing communities. Held the day before the Federal Reserve meets in Jackson Hole, the Summit will strengthen processes to scale clean energy, leverage the incentives of the IRA, address bottlenecks, and invest in energy communities.  

 

The Summit will be the beginning.  Relationships built in Jackson will become the foundation for ongoing Jackson Hole Working Groups that attract capital, build partnerships, shape policy, and launch clean energy opportunities.
