Since its inception, we have streamed this event to over 250,000 viewers internationally.  We've hosted big names to our stage: Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Meta and Founder and Author of Lean In,  Dr. Jen Welter, the first female coach in the NFL, and Randi Zuckerberg, media entrepreneur. About IWD Since 2015, ALLY Energy has led the energy industry in celebrating International Women's Day. In **2022, the International Women’s Day Summit by ALLY Energy** was hosted at Greentown Labs in Houston Texas. This is a day to celebrate and inspire the next generation of Energy Superheroes and to **#BreakTheBias** around energy careers and possible pathways. Energy Superheroes are women leading the energy transition from oil and gas, to the electric grid, renewables, and emerging climate technologies. Participants heard from industry leaders on how we can recruit and train the next generation of the energy workforce.  **ALLY Energy** is scaling an inclusive workforce with technology and its new careers and skills platform to elevate industry and talent.  Meet Energy Superheroes and Trailblazers from the new book, **Everyday Superheroes: Women in Energy Careers** and ALLY Energy member companies who are driving the new future in energy. We thank Chevron for generously underwriting this event as presenting sponsor.  We also thank Sodexo and Kanin Energy for their support. Agenda What do we need to accelerate momentum at the pace needed to address the challenges of Energy 2.0?  Join us as we explore.   *This year we will feature illustrators capturing the conversations around the room.  At the end of the day, we'll wrap up the illustrations and submit them to be commissioned for a mural to be dedicated later in 2022.* Agenda timings are listed in CST | 10:30 AM  - 12:30 PM | Meet the authors of Everyday Superheroes: Women in Energy. Enjoy lunch and networking in the room - in person and online. The formal in-person and online program will begin promptly at 12:00 PM. | | --- | --- | | 12:00 PM  | Opening Remarks and Keynote with Josetta Jones, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Chevron | | 12:30 PM | **How ALLY’s new platform is #Breaking the Bias in DEI hiring for energy. ** ALLY Energy has launched a new tool that will take the guesswork out of hiring and deliver the DEI results companies need.

The projected growth of jobs in the energy industry has abundant potential to create wealth and jobs, yet few women are entering into the sector. This c-suite session will explore the bias in energy and will provide a wide-ranging look at the career opportunities presented by the energy transition, and ways to build the energy workforce of the future. - Emily Reichert, CEO, Greentown Labs - Candice Michalowicz, Chief Operating Officer, EDPR NA Distributed Generation - Paula Glover, President, President, Alliance to Save Energy - Colleen Jansen, Chief Marketing Officer, ChargePoint | | 2:00 PM | **Endless Possibilities: Human Energy and the Future of Work** The future of work is upon us.

Market shifts, employment models, and workplace practices unfolding around us have serious implications for how we orient our systems to help connect young adults to economic opportunity. We’ll explore if our education and workforce systems are prepared to meet the needs of a rapidly shape-shifting economy. - Maggie Seeliger, SVP Global Strategy, Energy & Resources, Sodexo - Jamie Elrod, Emissions Management Leader, Baker Hughes - Jennifer Emerson, Enterprise Recovery Manager, Shel - Monica Krishnan, Technology and Deployment Manager, Chevron | | 3:00 PM | Closing with CEO and Founder, Katie Mehnert | ## VIDEOS FROM THE DAY CHECK OUT ALL THE VIDEOS FROM ON THE DAY         ## SUMMIT STORIES CHECK OUT THE TIDBITS AND SOUND BITES ![diversity in energy (1)](https://www.allyenergy.com/hubfs/diversity%20in%20energy%20(1).jpg) #### Is it time to break up with International Women's Day?
