CEOs of Ford Motor Company and PG&E Corporation to Speak at CERAWeek by IHS Markit 2022 in Houston

James D. Farley, Jr. and Patti Poppe will address delegates at world’s preeminent energy conference, March 7-11 in Houston

The CEOs of Ford Motor Company and PG&E Corporation will address delegates in a special dialogue at CERAWeek by IHS Markit 2022 in Houston, March 7-11.

CEOs James D. Farley, Jr. and Patti Poppe will join moderator Daniel Yergin, CERAWeek conference chair and vice chairman of IHS Markit, for a special session focused on the advent of electric cars and what that means for the relationship between the auto and electric power industries – and for motorists and consumers.

“We are pleased to welcome PG&E Corporation CEO Patti Poppe and Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley to CERAWeek by IHS Markit 2022 for an important and timely dialogue,” Yergin said. “This year’s conference is keenly focused on the challenges of balance inherent to the energy transition—between what amounts to a rapid transformation of the world’s $86 trillion economy and the need for stable and reliable energy flows and means of transport that people rely on.

“The automotive and electric utility sectors are at the forefront of this transition, and they are increasingly interconnected in shaping its outcome. Both Ford Motor Company and PG&E Corporation are leaders in conceptualizing and shaping this future, and we are grateful to have the two distinguished CEOs of these companies bring their unique knowledge, experience and insights to what will be a stimulating and eye-opening discussion.”

CERAWeek 2022: Pace of Change: Energy, Climate and Innovation will examine the challenges and opportunities of reducing emissions while supplying the needs of a growing global economy in the era of energy transition. The conference is returning to Houston for its 40th annual gathering after being hosted as an all-virtual event in 2021.

Produced by IHS Markit (NYSE: INFO), a world leader in critical information, analytics and solutions, the CERAWeek 2022 conference program will explore key themes related to More Energy, Lower Emissions; Geopolitics and Energy Markets; Workforce of the Future; Competitive Landscape and the Energy Transition; Supply Chains; and Financing the Energy Future.

The conference will also feature the CERAWeek Innovation Agora, serving as the center of technology and innovation programming at the event. Featuring a community of thought leaders, technologists, start-ups, investors, academics, energy companies and government officials, the Innovation Agora will showcase transformational technology platforms in the energy space ranging from digitalization, AI, analytics and connectivity, robotics, blockchain, additive manufacturing, mobility and decarbonization.
