Annual Duke University Energy Conference 2026

The conference is at The Fuqua School of Business in Durham.

The conference identifies leaders and experts as participants, while Energy Week at Duke University’s team information names industry leaders and policymakers.

It suits energy executives, policy staff and investors who want to hear how affordability, reliability and capital are being traded off, since the program centres on who pays for and benefits from infrastructure investment and on how capital and policy set the pace of the transition. Hosted at The Fuqua School of Business by Energy Week at Duke University, it is an academic-convened policy discussion, so engineers and project developers looking for technical sessions or a dense exhibit floor will likely get less from it.

Attendees at university-hosted energy and policy conferences usually wear business casual to business professional, such as blazers and slacks, and a suit is common for panelists.
