IES 2023 Theme and Program

Entrepreneurship – and Intrapreneurship – are difficult and risky undertakings. Our customer insights reveal that our Energy Industry has considerable friction to put into practice new solutions that create a valuable and viable business. Our strategic theme this year is “CLIMB”, helping remove the friction that holds back any innovator and entrepreneur and enabling them to move upward to success. Our IES 2023 program has content to develop the individual, empower them to collaborate with others and partner with existing firms, and motivate them to deliver solutions that can change the energy today and tomorrow.

IES 2023 Goals

SPE-GCS Innovate Committee’s vision is to “Build Better Innovators” for 2023, enabling them to change our energy industry for the better. We designed IES 2023 to attract, engage, and connect 500 attendees in our Downtown Houston, TX, venue. During our full-day event, our attendees will experience – in a unique format – speakers who address overcoming fear of innovation and change, discovering the next great energy need, building a team of energy co-founders, and leveraging intrapreneurship in a corporate environment. IES 2023 will conclude with our Shark Tank pitch competition among early-stage energy founders.

To ensure a future of sustainable growth in our energy industry, the net profits of IES 2023 support the SPE-GCS Scholarship Fund, helping to create new innovators and entrepreneurs in energy-related academic disciplines. We aim to add $100,000 to the scholarship fund from generous support of our sponsors and sales to our attendees.

Innovate Performance

Since 2014, SPE-GCS Innovate designed unique events to attract a global audience for an exclusive energy experience. Our performance metrics demonstrate delivering on our goal of connecting attendees, speakers, and sponsors as well as funding our SPE-GCS Scholarship Fund.

Curated Attendee and Speaker Recruitment

Beyond branding, SPE-GCS Innovate Committee has applied many principles of innovation toward engaging and encouraging participants at IES 2023. We scour our networks to identify energy innovators, founders, leaders, and investors who need to be in attendance. To support our theme and programming, we also curate a novel array of speakers who can provide critical insights for today that are also relevant for the future.

Speakers and Sponsors Dinner: Exclusive Opportunity to Connect

Before IES 2023, our Speakers are made available to meet with our Sponsors in a private setting to discuss our Energy Industry and to hear from an exclusive speaker sharing their insights into the new directions for Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Houston.

Continuous Interactions with Attendees, Speakers, and Sponsors

Connecting with participants starts before the event begins through our Digital Event Engagement App Guidebook and continues after the event. Each participant will be able to connect and engage via their SmartPhone, review speakers and program updates, and interactively engage with your brand. Sponsors can coordinate with the SPE-GCS Innovate committee to design messages that meet your brand goals. IES 2023 will actively broadcast announcements, content, and surveys via Guidebook during the event.

Social Media and Press Releases

SPE-GCS Innovate Committee has a team of marketers who will promote your brand and connection with IES 2023 for many weeks, including press releases after the event concludes.
