The area of climate science and research is ever-changing, complex and interdisciplinary. The demands are enormous, the potential for impacts affect all areas of society and industry, and offer opportunities for innovation. The Forum is a dynamic environment that weaves science, theory, practice, experience and leadership into a central point of awareness of risks and opportunities. Through collaborative discussion, it encourages participants to apply climate information and frame a definitive course of action for their industry.
To create a stimulating, inspiring environment for the participants, the Forum aims to select a diverse group of professionals, executives and leaders from the energy industry. The Forum is appropriate for business leaders and executives with a broad range of experiences in a variety of business functions.
We look to establish a diverse team that reflects professional ambition, leadership and conscientiousness to take information from the Forum and apply it within their industry as well as insights to enrich others’ experiences.
Requirements
While the Forum requires no formal educational requirements, the selection process is competitive and based on demonstrated professional achievement and leadership. The Forum is targeted towards executives who recognize the importance of weather and climate information and have demonstrated talent and desire for instilling innovative change within their company.
The right participant to attend the Forum will be eager to share their experience, support others, teach and learn and in doing so establish a collaborative network that perpetuates the importance of climate information to broader members of industry.

We ask that participants work with their company and sponsoring organizations to recognize this commitment and relieve individuals of other work responsibilities during the Forum.
