Sherri Goodman at the 2024 Veterans Advanced Energy Summit

Join Sherri Goodman, author of Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security, at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center 2024 Veterans Advanced Energy Summit at the Atlantic Council’s Headquarters. While this event has historically been held in Chicago, this year, the Atlantic Council is bringing the Summit to Washington, DC, a pivotal hub for government, military, and energy industry stakeholders alike.

This Summit has become the leading forum for senior policymakers, industry leaders, and military officials to engage in critical discussions on the intersections of energy, defense, and national security. This year’s agenda will explore themes spanning sustainability and climate considerations in national security planning, defense strategy to protect energy supply chains, and the resilience of critical infrastructure in the face of an evolving global threat landscape. Experts will also dive deep into key issues including the role of the Arctic in fortifying US energy security and geostrategic position as well as the potential for innovative energy technologies to power the future fighting force. For a full list of agenda topics, please see below.

This event is dedicated to veterans, reservists, and military spouses working to strengthen US national security through careers in the advanced energy industry. Please join us as we celebrate the vital contributions of the veteran community in building a more secure and clean energy system while strengthening our national security.
