SOUTHWEST Session: The fusion energy sector is in a pivotal moment. Commercial fusion energy would help unlock an abundant new source of reliable energy to help meet the growing energy needs of the grid and data centers across the United States. The high energy density of fusion fuels - The fusion energy released from just 1 gram of fuel equals the energy from about 2,400 gallons of oil - makes it an important priority for American energy dominance. There is a growing consensus that commercial fusion power could soon become a reality. But how will we get there? DOE’s Office of Science Fusion Energy Sciences program aims to usher a burgeoning fusion private sector industry in the U.S. toward maturity on the most rapid timeline. By leveraging investments from both the public and private sectors with prudent and strategic processes, DOE is marshaling the forces of the public and private sector to close key gaps on the critical path toward fusion energy . What’s at stake is enormous. If the sector meets its ambitious timeline, fusion could transform the world’s energy system and truly unlock U.S. innovation and energy dominance.

SOUTHWEST Session: Moderated by: Jamie Goettler, BTX Precision Rather than start with a discussion of all the technologies available in the industrial marketplace, this panel session will start by outlining the primary concerns of manufacturing businesses. By first appealing to what the audience (machining businesses) cares about most at the start, the panel will logically ease into a discussion of how available technologies can help achieve greater outcomes for these businesses…in other words, solutions to the preeminent problems. Among the concerns highlighted at the outset will be improving competitiveness (domestically and globally), throughput (business growth), and yes productivity in the face of the manufacturing skills gap. The panel will be represented by industry leaders who either are dealing with these concerns directly, or those that have a “front row seat” to a variety of companies that seek to survive and thrive. Technologies that will be addressed will likely include automation, robotics, workforce training, machining technology, machine monitoring, software and AI to name a few. The above will be discussed in the first Executive Perspectives panel discussion on Tuesday, followed on Wednesday with another critical topic…cybersecurity.
