Public Relations Association of Louisiana, Baton Rouge Chapter’s Post

Reposting to my network. Hoping to see a lot of my local connections this evening. Too hot to go out? Nonsense! Beat the heat with a refreshing beverage and air conditioning provided by Duke Energy Corporation and the Harris Nuclear plant which has been safely and reliably splitting atoms since January 1987. No brownouts or blackouts in this crushing heat wave! Thank you Duke Energy. At the three outstanding energy events I’ve been to in the last couple of months (the University of Idaho’s Energy Executive Summit, the State Energy Conference of NC at North Carolina State University, and the 10th annual UNC Cleantech Summit at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), AI-driven electrification (what Diane Leopold from Dominion Energy referred to as “datafication”) has been one of the topics that dominated the conversation among the utility executives that I heard speak. The people I heard and spoke to at these three events are Thought Leaders for sure…but much more importantly they are Do Leaders. They are responsible for meeting customer demand, keeping the lights on and the air conditioners humming, and providing affordable energy to all those customers who are living paycheck to paycheck and are forced to choose what bills don’t get paid each month. A big tip of the cap to: (1) the three universities mentioned in this post for the vital role they play in the Industry/Academia/Government triple helix for energy and cleantech, and (2) the RTCC for being such an excellent convener and a facilitator of collaboration and discussion.

Tuesday at 10 AND 15.00 at Bouche in BXL: We're talking story development over coffee with two journalist types - Habib and Michael. And me (for unknown reasons haha) What was this Bump coffee club thing again? 1. We pick a place with great coffee (always just outside the EU quarter, but not that far) 2. You show up and find us before ordering your coffee (we're paying). 3. We'll talk about the topic. No slides or presentations, just conversations. 4. No need to register, just show up. Connect with the team so you can see dates and venues in your feed (Ali, Arnoud, Habib, Koen, Lumawig, Malte, Michael) 5. If no one shows up, we will just drink coffee alone it's fine. Last week people showed up for both slots - that was nice!

For so long, so many of us have thought of not drinking as ... not cool. But the conversation is changing! These days, not drinking is actually one of the coolest things you can do. I mean seriously, what is hotter than being fully comfortable in your own skin, going against the grain, and living fully every second of your life? Going alcohol-free is IN! Join the conversation with us in our FREE 5-Day Virtual Event at https://lnkd.in/e4ByYxM4

Bump coffee club sessions soon to be in full effect! 🍂☕️ We invite all our EU policy comms friends to join us for some cozy, constructive, but ultimately very chill, coffee chats. 📅 First dates & topics are up: 👉 7 DECEMBER: How to add a “wow” layer to EU bubble events with myself & Mawi (Lumawig Peeters ) @BARKBOY, 10.00 and 15.00 👉 12 DECEMBER: How to develop story options to pitch journalists with Habib, Brett & Michael @Bouche, 10.00 and 15.00 See you there! 👋 💡 How the Bump coffee club works: 1. We pick a place with great coffee (always just outside the EU Quarter, but not that far). 2. We pick a day and a topic. Some Bump folks will be there that day at 10.00 and at 15.00. 3. You show up and find us before ordering your coffee (we're paying). 4. We talk about the topic. No slides or presentations, just conversations. 5. No need to register, just show up! Be sure to connect with the team so you can see dates and venues in your feed (Brett, Ali, Lumawig, Koen Huyghe, Arnoud, Michael, Malte). 6. If no one shows up, we will just drink coffee alone, it's fine.
