Meet our Keynote Speaker!

Amelia Rose Earhart

Drawing from her 28,000-nautical-mile solo flight around the world, Amelia Rose Earhart delivers powerful insights on navigating complexity—whether it be in the air or in the energy industry. Just as she learned to anticipate headwinds and course-correct through turbulence, utility leaders must guide organizations through unprecedented load growth, regulatory uncertainty, and grid variability.

Through her "flight lessons" framework—forecasting challenges, distributing responsibility under stress, and maintaining confidence while pivoting—she'll inspire utility innovators to embrace building a resilient energy future, recognizing that every obstacle can become an opportunity for breakthrough.
