Educating The Energy Sector With Expert Insight
USEA's Virtual Press Briefing series features a panel of industry experts answering questions from energy journalists about the leading issues and cutting-edge energy topics of the day. The general audience can also submit questions.
USEA President and CEO Mark W. Menezes delivers opening remarks for each briefing. The briefings are organized and moderated by Llewellyn King, producer and co-host of White House Chronicle on PBS.
The Virtual Press Briefing series was launched in October 2020. It is a virtual reboot of the original Press Briefing series, which was conducted several years ago in the USEA offices.
The series has received extensive media coverage, including articles in Forbes, POLITICO, The Guardian, Energy Daily, S&P Global Platts, and Utility Dive.
