some of you. 45 minutes for the firepower we have on this panel is going to be tough. But, we're super excited to be part of it with you all and know its going to be the greatest of the four panels :)
I'll be back in touch EARLY next week to make sure we're all squared away.
Thanks and don't hesitate to email, call, or text.

Thank you again for taking time to jump on our planning call earl ier today. I'm looking forward to seeing you and your bosses in Pittsburgh next week! I have a few answers to some of the questions that were raised on today' s call.
Attendance Anyone attending the event was required to register and had to receive an invitation from owoffice.
Media/Press The McCormick office has received over 100 media RSVP' s, with a decent amount being Pennsylvania media. The White House sent around a media guidance today, so we anticipate more is to come. The panels and roundtables will all be open to the media (p1int, radio, TV, state, local, national, etc.). The Summit will be livestreamed on the Senator's website and reposted to his social media channels as well. The page on the website that will house the livestream video should be up by the end of the week.
If you have specific media questions (e.g., what networks are invited or need contacts), please
reach out to Katy Montgomery at (b) (6)
, she is also copied here.
Panel Details We are currently on track for our panel to start at 12:30 PM, however we ask that you please be flexible while we work to lock in that time. We ask that all panelists and moderators report to the greenroom 15 minutes before the start of the panel. The greenrnom will be private, no press. The auditorium bolds around 425 people and will be open to members of the press.
Again, I will be your day of POC for the panel. Please feel free to email, text, or call if you or
your boss need anything. My cell is (b) (6)
.
Note: There will not be any pull aside rooms, it sounds like we' re pretty limited on space. However, there will be a VIP area folks can utilize to refresh and take calls if needed.
Lunch
Sierra Club v. Dept of Energy, 4:25-cv-5027
SC_EVERSPLIT0026975
All panel and roundtable participants are invited to the VIP lunch. It will be a sit-down, tablecloth lunch.
Reception/Round table The Senator will be moderating the roundtable and those making investment am1ouncements will be speaking. There will be arom1d 50 people participating in the roundtable. This will be open to the press and a larger audience of around 800 people. Again, the entire audience had to receive an invitation from and register with our office. A run of show for the roundtable is still in the works with the WH but will hopefully be included in the logistics email mentioned below.
Security/Advance Logistics You should receive an email before Monday from om team that walk s through the location, security, entry points, parking, etc. There will be a map provided to show locations for the events and reporting spaces (i.e., greemoom). This is all being finalized in coordination with Secret Service. Ifyou do not receive anything, please let me know.
James Cunningham's cell phone number is (b) (6)
. Please let be or I know if you have
any additional questions. I'll be on the lookout for the information folks want to hit on during the
panel discussion. Looking f01ward to seeing many of you next week!

Hi James - Super! Thanks so much for this. Looping in a few people from our team as well. I suspect a quick call / video conference would be helpful. Would something tomorrow afternoon be possible?

Good morning,
We are thrilled that your boss will be joining us at the Energy and Innovation Summit on Tuesday and grateful for their willingness to participate in this panel.
I'd like to introduce you all to my colleague, Ashley Higgins, who will be the point person on this panel in the lead up and day of. Attached is a memo from Ashley with a panel description, key themes, and bios for all panelists. I've also copied Katy and Jake from our comms team.
We'd be happy to facilitate a prep call for relevant staff if of interest. Ashley will follow up on that.
