Wednesday Morning Keynote

Ted’s keynote, “From Firewood to the Stealth Fighter,” charts the history of Princeton’s bold evolution in energy — and how its leadership mirrors what’s happening in hospitals, universities, municipalities, and mission-critical plants across the country.

From cogeneration to carbon strategy, from control systems to workforce development, Ted has spent decades driving real-world change at scale.

Now he’s sharing what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next — with the people who need it most.

This keynote isn’t about theory.
It’s about translating deep experience into action you can use, no matter the size of your plant.

This isn’t a trade show. It’s a working session.

For the first time, elite plant professionals and industry specialists are coming together to teach what’s actually needed to run, repair, and optimize today’s power and district energy systems.

You’ll walk away with:
✅ Hands-on skills from 10 LearningLabs™ (3-hour sessions)
✅ Real connections with experts, owners, and operators
✅ Field-tested tools & takeaways you can use on shift
✅ Perspective from hospital facility leaders, energy advisors, and engineering leads
