SPEER Chief Executive Officer Todd McAlister and Senior Manager of Policy Engagement Noah Oaks were in the house this week at the 2025 Roger Farrer Energy Conference in Stillwater, OK. SPEER was excited to participate in this year's program at the lunch policy panel discussion.

The conference provided an impressive assembly of energy professionals, and great conversations were had around energy efficiency, associated technologies, and other timely items.

Looking forward to next year!

The recap page (including our full video recap) from this year's Industry + Policy Workshop is LIVE!

We had two great days of discussion and networking with energy leaders from SPEER's territory and beyond at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center in Austin.

Thank you to our 2025 sponsors and all attendees, speakers, and panelists who joined us.

See y'all next year!
