Geothermal Hub

Powering Geothermal Energy Innovations and Developments

The Geothermal Hub, presented by Geothermal Rising, will feature diverse content suitable for everyone; from those who have never heard of geothermal, to those currently working in the industry!

Content will include: Presentations on the types and applications of geologic, geophysical and engineering data in geothermal exploration and development, geothermal case studies, updates from geothermal companies, as well as a live podcast, panel discussions about transitioning a career from oil & gas into geothermal and dispelling common misconceptions about geothermal, and informal networking opportunities.
