Wharton Club of Houston

The Yale Club cordially invites members of the Wharton Community to the first Yale Alumni in Energy Houston Conference. Interested atendees can register at: http://www.yaleclubofhouston.org.

The 2010 Yale Alumni in Energy Conference drew over 200 alumni in energy to New Haven. Organized by Houston's own Ed Hirs '79, '79 M.A., '81 M.B.A., the conference has been widely acclaimed as a resounding success and a model for future industry-based alumni forums.

For those not able to travel to New Haven this spring, or for those who couldn't get enough the first time, Yale Alumni in Energy will present a condensed version of their second annual conference here in Houston. Attendees will gain deep insight into a broad spectrum of energy issues, from the state of the world crude market, to trends in oil and gas exploration, to the dynamics of energy trading, to the latest in biofuels.
