Premier Events

The Longhorn Energy Club hosts two premier events per semester. These events are targeted to a broader audience than students and involve multiple student organizations as well as many external guests, including companies, government affiliates, and university administrators. This year, we are proud to announce Texas Energy Innovation Night and the Texas-to-X Energy Forum, two new events created by the LEC.
