6 answeredThe 2026 event starts on November 9.
The Duke University Energy Conference takes place at The Fuqua School of Business.
The stated audience includes students, faculty, and industry professionals.
It is most useful for students and early-career people interested in energy finance and policy, since speakers include representatives from BlackRock, Duke Energy and Goldman Sachs and the week mixes students, faculty and industry professionals. The student competition with $15k in prizes adds a recruiting angle. Senior executives seeking deal flow or deep technical content would get less from a university-hosted event at the Fuqua School of Business.
Attendees at university energy conferences usually wear business casual, with students often dressing up for recruiting and professionals in slacks and blazers.
The listed speakers include leaders and professionals from finance, energy, research, recycling, manufacturing, and policy organizations.
