Major speaker announcement coming May 12

Governor Mike Dunleavy will welcome global energy leaders to Alaska at the fourth annual Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference June 3-5 in Anchorage.

The 2025 conference will explore the future of energy in Alaska and on a global scale including:

• The impact of artificial intelligence and skyrocketing demand from data centers and supercomputing
• The latest advancements in renewable and nuclear power, transmission, and energy storage
• The continued responsible development of Alaska oil, gas, and mineral resources

U.S. Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Martina Strong speaks during the 2024 Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference.

Conference speakers range from leaders at some of the energy industry’s most innovative companies, researchers advancing the cutting edge of technology, and Alaskans working to bridge the gap between theory and practice to provide reliable and affordable energy in state. Additional high-profile speakers will be announced on May 12.

“Over the past three years, the Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference has proven to be an invaluable platform showcasing Alaska’s energy potential to the world while bringing global expertise to bear on Alaska’s unique challenges,” said Governor Dunleavy. “With President Trump reshaping global trade and reigniting American energy production, this is Alaska’s moment. Nowhere else brings together the full breadth of Alaska’s energy opportunity like the Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference.”
