This year's Forum explores how risk and reward impact critical investment decisions and how advances in technology and changes in policy can mitigate risks and influence decisions. The trade-off between risk and reward has always been a crucial consideration in the energy sector. Today, however, risk profiles are rapidly evolving in response to a variety of changes — the necessity to go deeper and further for oil , the controversies surrounding shale gas extraction, the uncertainty around the future of nuclear post-Fukushima and the shifting technology and policy sands that impact cleantech development. It is in this context that financial “risk and reward” is considered.

Now in its second year, this forum will gather industry professionals, senior business executives, academics, and students from the area’s leading schools for panel discussions and networking opportunities. Speakers include Venrock Managing General Partner Ray Rothrock, NuScale Power Chief Executive Officer Dr. Paul Lorenzini, Former US Representative Bob Inglis, MIT Sloan School of Management Senior Lecturer Dr. John Parsons, AIG Chartis Executive Vice President - Project Finance Advisory Services Bob Percopo, and many more.

Registration is required and a fee is involved. For more information or to register for the conference, please visit: http://mitenergyfinanceforum.org
