ENERGY EXPERTS DISCUSS CHANGING MARKETPLACE
DURING UPCOMING UH-GEMI CONFERENCE
For the third consecutive year, experts will explore possible solutions
to problems confronting the volatile energy market during a conference
sponsored by the University of Houston’s Global Energy Management
Institute (UH-GEMI).
Presenters will discuss the changing marketplace, credit crunch,
risk management and legal issues at the Third Annual Energy Trading
and Marketing Conference: Rebuilding the Business. Keynote speakers
are Chris Conway, president, Gas and Power Commercial, Conoco Phillips,
and David Sobotka, managing director, Merrill Lynch Global Commodities
Group.
The day-long event will take place Jan. 20 at the University Hilton.
“UH-GEMI continues to track the industry’s progress
to help industry observers prepare for what’s ahead,”
said Jeff Graefe, UH-GEMI director of operations. “During
the two previous conferences, we discussed market clearing and restoring
confidence. This year, we’ll focus on what we can do to move
the trading business forward again.”
Following lunch, two breakout sessions will be offered. One will
focus on legal and regulatory issues while the other will highlight
risk management. Attorneys attending the legal session will receive
two hours of continuing education credit.
