The March 17 & 18 "Regulation of the Electricity & Natural Gas Industries: An Introduction" Conference in Washington, D.C. will teach novices and veterans alike how to navigate today's increasingly complex web of energy and natural gas regulation.

Conference co-chairs, Daniel Fessler, Holland & Knight LLP (former California PUC President) and Douglas Smith, Van Ness Feldman PC (former FERC General Counsel), are seasoned leaders whose stature has attracted expert peers from every corner of the industry. With this conference, they have created the ultimate primer on energy regulation for attorneys and business professionals new to the energy industry. 


Participants will get a solid foundation in energy regulation from the people who helped create it. The faculty includes Stephen Burnage, President of National Grid; Robert Pease of the FERC's Office of Market Oversight; former FERC Chair James Hoecker, Vinson & Elkins LLP; former FERC Commissioner William L. Massey, Covington & Burling; and Gregory G. Mocek of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission among its distinguished members.


Industry leaders are already calling this conference "first rate," "phenomenal," "the best yet," and the faculty "stellar."
