Pennsylvania, a state crucial to the outcome of the upcoming presidential election, is at the center of a heated energy debate. At the heart of this discussion lies the state’s abundance of natural gas resources, which are poised to play a significant role in shaping the future of American energy.
Next week, Erie’s Bayfront Convention Center will host the 14th annual SHALE INSIGHT® Conference, a three-day event that will delve into the complexities of energy policy, explore emerging energy technologies, and examine the role of clean, abundant natural gas in a modern world. This year’s conference, taking place from September 24-26, is particularly relevant as the energy debate intensifies in the lead-up to the November election.
SHALE INSIGHT® will bring together some of the nation’s most influential energy leaders, policy experts, and business executives from leading natural gas companies, including EQT, Chesapeake, CNX, Coterra, MPLX, Encino, Energy Transfer, Seneca Resources, and Olympus Energy. The event promises to provide a platform for in-depth discussions on the evolving role of natural gas, the sustainability initiatives being implemented by the industry, and the broader political landscape as it relates to energy.
Previous SHALE INSIGHT® conferences have featured keynote addresses from sitting U.S. Presidents and global political and thought leaders, highlighting the conference’s significant influence on the national conversation. This year, with the stakes higher than ever in the political arena, SHALE INSIGHT® is poised to be a central venue for shaping the debate on energy’s role in the presidential race.
“With Pennsylvania as a crucial swing state, energy policy has become a defining factor for both parties,” said Marcellus Shale Coalition president David Callahan. “This conference comes at a time when the energy sector’s role in the election could impact not only state but national policies on natural gas production.”
The conference will feature technical breakout sessions exploring new innovations and policy issues in detail, and a sold-out exhibit area will showcase products and services driving the industry forward. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from next-generation students during the University Research Showcase, which will highlight groundbreaking studies, projects, and research.
SHALE INSIGHT® 2024 promises to be a pivotal event in shaping the future of energy policy in the United States. The conference will provide a platform for critical discussions, the exchange of ideas, and the exploration of innovative solutions to address the challenges and opportunities facing the natural gas sector.
