NAPE Summit, the largest upstream event of its kind, will bring together industry professionals from more than 43 states and 35 countries on February 10-13 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. The 22nd annual expo includes the NAPE Business Conference, presented by information and insight provider IHS (NYSE: IHS), on Wednesday, Feb. 11. Panel sessions will feature discussion and in-depth analysis of an industry “coping with success,” including insights from energy executives that are battling on a new front as they shift to harvesting and managing cost and cash flow.

Conference session topics include the perspective of industry from Wall Street and the regulatory impacts that come with a booming industry. The day-long conference includes four panel discussions as well as a luncheon keynote address by John Hofmeister, founder and CEO of Citizens for Affordable Energy and former president of Shell Oil Company.

The morning session begins at 9 a.m. with a welcome from IHS and keynote remarks from Jack Stark, President and COO of Continental Resources and Alan Armstrong, President and CEO of Williams, followed by a regulatory and policy panel. The afternoon session includes an executive panel and a financial dialogue from the Wall Street perspective. The business conference concludes at 5 p.m. and is followed by the ever-popular NAPE Icebreaker Reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The evening event is open to all NAPE Summit attendees and includes food, drinks and countless networking opportunities.
