DESCRIPTION:Resilience of the country’s energy infrastructure\, a longstand
 ing pillar of national security\, has never been more important than it is
  today. Global conflicts\, geo-political shifts\, economic pressures\, and
  hostile actions by adversaries\, comprising both cyber and physical attac
 ks\, are sounding the alarm to action. Obsolete legacy IT systems and proc
 esses further make the case for a bold and decisive response. Lack of resi
 lience makes the nation’s energy infrastructure vulnerable to cyber threat
 s\, natural disasters\, market fluctuations and other disruptors.\n\nMeanw
 hile\, in many parts of the world\, nations are adopting policies to prior
 itize expansion of renewable generation\, energy diversification and energ
 y storage. For some countries\, these are their most pressing goals. The c
 hallenge is to balance energy-sector aspirations against the reality of ge
 opolitical conflicts\, fluctuating commodity prices\, supply chain disrupt
 ions and increases in extreme weather. \n\nTo meet future demand\, traditi
 onal energy producers are evaluating newer\, cleaner and more efficient en
 ergy sources. At the same time\, the US government has blazed a path to en
 ergy independence\, using grants to develop new technology and break the c
 ountry’s reliance on energy imports. These actions and ongoing modernizati
 on initiatives aim by the federal government align with the theme of AFCEA
  Bethesda’s 2023 Energy\, Infrastructure and Environment (EIE) Summit\, RE
 IMAGINE ENERGY: REMAKING AMERICA’S ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE\n\nThe EIE Summit
  will convene leaders from federal energy\, infrastructure\, and environme
 nt agencies to discuss the modernization efforts that must be undertaken t
 o address today’s energy challenges with a focus on cyber\, identity and c
 redentials\; data and digital transformation\; technology modernization\; 
 the workforce\; operational excellence\; robotic process automation (RPA)\
 , artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/M)\, and the emergence of g
 enerative AI such as ChatGPT.\n\nJoin us on November 15\, as federal leade
 rs discuss how their agencies are adopting best practices\, techniques and
  innovative technology to strengthen the nation’s energy infrastructure an
 d support mission outcomes.
