Though in the midst of a recession, energy remains in the forefront as the search for alternate sources is paramount.

It is against this backdrop that Argyle Executive Forum presents its 2009 Deal Making in the Energy Sector event in conjunction with Wharton Private Equity Partners. The event, taking place in Manhattan, will bring together approximately 130 to 150 CEOs and board members of public and private large cap and mid cap energy corporations, complementary areas of executive leadership (CFOs, COOs, etc.), founders/senior managing partners of investment firms that focus on energy, investment officers from the endowment, foundation, and family office community and select advisory firms. The forum will address a number of topics, including but not limited to: current and future energy investment allocation, an examination of the impact of mergers & acquisitions, the impact of smart grids and creating an optimal fuel mix.

Please note that the limited seating for members of the advisory community is offered first to those that are supporting the event as sponsors. This event is by invitation only, and an invitation code is required. If you did not receive an invitation but would like to inquire about attendance, please click here
