Dear John,
After two years on pandemic hiatus, the Energy & Environment Symposium returns April 13-14, 2022!
Thank you to our longtime sponsors, speakers, partners, and attendees who have made our event Colorado's largest and most popular oil & gas education and networking event for local governments! Save the date in your calendar now to join us for the 8th Annual Energy & Environment Symposium April 13-14, 2022. This popular event was attended by 270 of your peers in 2019 and was set for another record attendance in 2020 before the pandemic put large events on hold. We look forward to safely hosting you in April!
Many of you already know we provide the premier oil and gas education experience for Colorado's county and municipal officials. With the recent COGCC overhaul of oil and gas regulations, including vast new local government authority to regulate oil and gas, there has never been a better reason or better time to join us! Our invited experts in regulatory, planning, legal, environmental, economic and social issues will provide the latest information needed by local governments from oil & gas regions across Colorado.
Help us plan our best-ever symposium by suggesting speakers and topics you want to see. Perhaps you or a colleague or consultant you work with would be a perfect fit for our agenda. Send an email ASAP to Kirby Wynn at kw...@garfield-county.com to let us know who and what you would like to see.
