Electricity demand is soaring, energy affordability has become a kitchen-table concern, and the path to sustainability has never been more contested. What technologies, policies, and leadership strategies can deliver a sustainable future with affordable, reliable energy and a healthy economy?  

Join Georgia Tech's Marilyn Brown, Valerie Thomas, and Susan Graff as they celebrate two new Springer Nature books — Energy Technology and Policy Innovation and Sustainability Leaders: A Guide to Transforming Organizations — and explore competing visions for change. Drawing on research and real-world experience, this lively conversation will challenge assumptions, examine trade-offs, and ask who should lead, who should pay, and how to turn promising ideas into lasting progress.
