These graduate student clubs are coordinating their efforts and resources to build upon last year’s highly successful inaugural MIT Energy Conference and to establish it as a marquee annual MIT event.  These three highly visible MIT Clubs leverage their complimentary core competencies to create the uniquely balanced, timely and rich conference content.

The conference lead organizers have a proven track record of developing new projects, identifying and matching talent, and successfully helping drive MIT-generated technology towards commercialization.  The MIT Energy Conference Co-Directors are recognized leaders within the MIT energy and innovation communities while coming from different academic study focuses.  Uniting the Co-Directors in a common vision is each individual’s deep passion to move the highly multidisciplinary energy innovation community at MIT and beyond forward.
