SAFE Summit
For over 20 years, SAFE has led the policy dialogue on energy and national security, working alongside a coalition of retired 4-star admirals and generals to ensure America never relies on adversaries for energy, critical materials, or advanced transportation technologies. Resolutely non-ideological and tangibly impactful, SAFE convenes policymakers, industry, and defense leaders at its annual SAFE Summit.
SAFE Summit 2026 will spotlight The Pillars of Power: A Strategy for Energy Security and Industrial Resiliency — our call for urgent action to rebuild America’s industrial base, secure critical supply chains, and embrace energy abundance. Join us as we convene innovators and leaders at a premier conference event for high-stakes and high-impact conversations shaping the nation’s future.
