About the Tribal Energy Forum
The Tribal Energy Forum is a key event for Tribes to share their energy project successes, learn how others have overcome challenges, and explore larger energy trends facing Indian Country to inform individual Tribal visions and goals. The 2027 Forum will bring together Tribal Leaders and representatives from Federal agencies, state governments, private industry, utilities, academia, and more. Hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Indian Energy, the Forum includes a 2.5-day program with tracks covering today’s critical Tribal energy issues with more than 20 breakout sessions, exciting plenary discussions with Federal and Tribal Leaders, energy project success stories, and plenty of time for networking
