Events

Pierce Atwood's Energy Infrastructure Team hosted its Second Annual Energy Infrastructure Symposium on October 4, 2018, at The Langham Hotel. The event provided a venue for regulators, industry leaders, service providers, and interested parties to come together and address the opportunities and challenges in developing energy infrastructure projects in the Northeast. Attendees gathered to hear from panelists and speakers that play key roles in responding to the region's increasing demand for clean, reliable, low-cost energy, and the development of natural gas and renewable generation infrastructure to meet that demand.
