  • And several leading industry analysts, consultants, and advisors.

“Over the last three decades the NECBC Executive Energy Conference has earned a reputation as the premier executive-level energy conference focused on energy industries in New England and Eastern Canada and the multibillion-dollar cross-border energy trade,’’ NECBC President Jon F. Sorenson said. “We are delighted to welcome this top-tier assembly of industry leaders and visionaries for what will be a rich, lively, and insightful set of discussions.’’

Coming just days after the Nov. 3 U.S. election, the conference will offer participants an opportunity to hear from a wide range of top energy and business leaders about what the election results will mean for energy policy, regulation, business opportunities, and trade in both Canada and the U.S.
