On Wednesday, October 8, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET, the Global Energy Center’s Energy & Defense program will host the 2025 Energy & Defense Summit, convening senior military leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to confront the challenge of sustaining US and allied military power in an increasingly contested and energy-constrained environment.

As military operations become more energy-intensive and threats to global energy flows grow more complex—from cyberattacks to adversary control of supply chains—energy is emerging as a decisive factor in military readiness. From sustaining forces in contested environments to powering next-generation defense technologies, participants at this summit will examine how energy challenges are reshaping the future of conflict and explore strategies to ensure it remains a source of advantage rather than vulnerability.

This event will take place in person and virtually on ACTV, YouTube, X, and Facebook. To attend, please register above. For more information, please contact Chase Thalheimer at CThalheimer@AtlanticCouncil.org.
