7:00 a.m - 8:30 a.m	Women in Energy Executive Breakfast: Using the #MeToo era as a catalyst for creating a safer workplace environment The magnitude of sexual harassment allegations that recently shook Hollywood and the media sector has left leaders in all industries questioning this behavior in their own industries and organizations.

The discussion will address tactical HR approaches to eliminate sexual harassment using this crisis as a wake-up call to create a better, safer work environment, and the responsibility of senior leaders to put tough issues on the table that address how we treat each other at work, no matter what our differences – including race, gender, orientation, creed and every attribute that makes our workforces unique.

This panel of experts will take a deeper dive on tax reform and share insights and perspective on how it will affect the energy sector, including global investment, long-term demand, and commodity prices.

2018 Recap

KPMG hosted the Global Energy Conference, on June 6-7, 2018 in Houston, TX. The conference brought together senior energy executives and thought leaders from the oil, gas, power, and utility industries to discuss and debate the biggest trends and challenges facing the global energy sector. The agenda included perspectives from our keynote speakers who were uniquely positioned to discuss today’s environment. Soledad O’Brien, award-winning journalist, documentarian, news anchor, and producer, lead us in thinking about the role of the media in today’s heavily polarized discussions, allegations of external manipulation, and whether the notion of “fake news” has truly affected the global public. The Honorable George J. Mitchell, former U.S. Senate majority leader (1989–1995), who received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II for negotiating the Good Friday Peace Agreement between Northern Ireland and Ireland after three decades of conflict, shared his views on how we move forward in a unilateral, G-Zero world, a scenario in which there is no one country that can drive a truly global agenda.
