Energy Innovation Conference
The annual UCLA Anderson Energy Innovation Conference brings together professionals, students and academics with a passion for energy. Past keynote speakers include Rebecca Cranna, COO of Cypress Creek Renewables, and Matt Petersen, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator. Past panel topics include Resilience & Storage, Energy Finance and Innovation & Entrepreneurship.

Challenges in Energy Case Competition
Top business schools from all over the country send teams to UCLA Anderson in early February for the annual Challenges in Energy Case Competition. Teams are given the case prompt several weeks before the competition and then deliver their presentations to panels of judges. Winning teams earn both money and glory, and we wrap it up with a big happy hour and send-off.

Speaker Series in Energy, Mobility and Sustainability

Days-on-the-Job (DOJs) and Company Treks
Every fall, first-year MBA students take a one-week break from classes to visit energy companies and get to know the industry. The ECA takes students to San Diego, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area for a full week of corporate presentations, visits to energy facilities and networking events.
