This location is across from the Hilton New Orleans Riverside and Morial Convention Center. The address is 201 Julia St, New Orleans, Louisiana.  We will be in the Adacia Room location.

SPE ATCE is the leading technical energy conference and exhibition for global E&P professionals and is celebrating its 100 year anniversary! As we welcome our centenary year, ATCE 2024 is focused on powering the future of energy with a century of innovation. Join the global community to reflect and discuss how companies are navigating the energy transition in this diverse sector, as well as the challenges that have arisen, including supply chain issues, skilled workforce challenges, inflation concerns, and more.

Our new Department Chair David Schechter will be present, along with other members of the PETE faculty and staff. At this point, Professionals in Residence Dr. Mauricio Almeida and Dr. Otto Santos have stated that they will also be in attendance at the reception, as will Dr. Karsten Thompson, Dr. Ipsita Gupta, and staff members Andi Donmyer, Janet Dugas, and Dr. Mahendra Kunju.

The reception menu will consist of petite crab cakes, boudin balls, mini french Muffalettas, sauteed vegetables, chicken and sausage gumbo, shrimp etoufee, and blackened catfish, along with a variety of beverage options.  We hope to round out the buffet with homemade bread pudding topped with butter run sauce.  You do not need to show conference credentials in order to attend the party and friends/family are always welcome. We look forward to seeing our alumni. Geaux Tigers!
