Conference Overview – November 17th-18th

The NMEI Annual Conference will bring together leaders from government, industry, utilities, national laboratories, universities, and other organizations to explore how energy data can better support research, decision-making, infrastructure planning, and economic development in New Mexico.

Through panels and expert presentations, the conference will examine how data is used across New Mexico’s energy sectors, discuss current challenges and information needs, and identify opportunities to strengthen collaboration, improve access to reliable information, and support the state’s evolving energy strategy. We are glad to host our Keynote Panel with:

Secretary Taylor | New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department

Secretary Black | New Mexico Economic Development Department

Cholla Khoury | Chief of Staff, New Mexico Public Regulation Commission

The workshop will help inform the continued development of the DETECT platform.
