U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Rick Perry; Representative Greg Walden, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce; and Commissioner Colette Honorable of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission provided keynote remarks from a policy perspective. Alex Laskey, President and Co-Founder of Opower; Scott Sheffield, Executive Chairman of Pioneer Natural Resources; and Dr. Sun Xiansheng, Secretary General of the International Energy Forum offered keynote views addressing energy production, consumption, and data topics.
