2025 Monday Keynote Luncheon: The Geothermal Decade
Monday, 20 October | 1200–1330 | Room 310
A compelling keynote luncheon with Timothy Latimer, Co-Founder and CEO of Fervo Energy, as he explores the pivotal role geothermal will play in the future energy mix. Discover why the next decade is being called “The Geothermal Decade” and how innovation is unlocking its full potential.
Fellow energy professionals joined for a powerful keynote by Chris Lemons, a veteran saturation diver who survived 30 minutes stranded 295 feet underwater after a catastrophic vessel failure—without light, oxygen, or heat. His miraculous survival has captivated audiences around the world, inspiring the Netflix documentary Last Breath and a Hollywood version starring Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, and Finn Cole was released earlier this year.
But this was more than just a survival story. Chris delivered a powerful message about leadership, teamwork, and the life-saving impact of rigorous safety protocols.
