The inaugural Houston Energy & Climate Week was held from 9 to 13 September 2024.
The schedule included a wide range of events about energy and climate issues on both a local and global scale.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, 10 September, the Australian American Chamber of Commerce (AACC) Texas ran a panel discussion involving businesses and entrepreneurs with Australian connections.
Many people commented that it was well organized and fun and one of the highlights of the week.
For those who survived the Australians and a full day of activities for the opening of Energy Tech Nexus in Texas, there was an after party in the penthouse of the Esperson building.
The fun continued into the following evening with a cocktail reception at the Houston Moxy hotel. Sustainable beverages were available for people to try.
Smiling Oak sustainable whiskey is produced locally in Texas and seeks to reuse barrels and other materials in the production process.
The Moxy team provided a wide range of food and drinks.
Telmont wines provided champagne from France.
Katie Mehnert (ALLY Energy) gave a speech thanking the volunteers, sponsors and partners who participated in the cocktail event.
