Join policymakers, legislative staff, and innovation leaders as we celebrate the Capitol staffers graduating from the PowerHouse Texas 2026 Energy Academy and recognize a new cohort of emerging leaders working across policy, industry, and the nonprofit sector.
Attendees can look forward to a night of thoughtful conversation with strong company, and just enough celebration. Enjoy signature cocktails and hors d'oeuvres during the presentations of the final policy projects by Energy Academy students followed by a brief awards ceremony, and back by popular demand, we’ll cap the night off with karaoke!
The PowerPlayer Awards provide our community a rare opportunity to step back from the day-to-day work and reflect on where Texas energy is headed—and who is helping move it forward.
