About the Texas A&M Power Conference
About the Event
The Texas A&M Power Conference is a student-centered initiative dedicated to connecting academia, industry, and innovation to build the next generation of power leaders. Hosted by Cholla Inc. and Texas A&M University at the Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center, the conference explores how America can reindustrialize its energy infrastructure to power the new era.
Our Vision
For fifty years, America optimized for efficiency, not resilience. Today, the algorithms driving artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and national security demand one thing above all else — power.
Power in watts. Power in will. Power in people who can build.
The Power Conference unites those builders — engineers, electricians, coders, policymakers, and manufacturers — to reimagine the American energy future from the ground up.
Why Now
The supply chains of the last century can’t meet the computing needs of this one.
By convening thought leaders, students, and companies in Texas — the heart of American energy — the conference aims to accelerate local manufacturing, grid innovation, and workforce development to achieve true energy abundance.
