Rebecca, Juan, Ben, and Star,
Removing others from the thread to avoid confusion for our staff member who will be assisting with the Deputy Secretary and his entourage's hotel arrangements.
When you have a moment, could you please send me James' biography and headshot for the speaker slides and event app? I'd also appreciate it if you could share the contact information for his on-the-ground coordinator so we can connect in advance if needed.
Thank you!

Juan,
Thank you so much for connecting. We could do anywhere between 2-4pm ET on Monday; if you could hold that two hour block of time for now, let me reach out now to Chri Womack's team and see what time within that block might be ideal for them. Stand by, BUT we as EPRI will absolutely prep with this team Monday afternoon for 30 minutes in that time even if we can 't get the SoCo team on.
As for the room, flagging for @Parris, Jessica to keep room open for Danly which we will finalizing on Monday.
Will be in touch shortly to confirm a final time within the 2-4pm block for this.

Hello!
How about 1-5pm on Monday? Would like to have my colleagues Star and Rebecca join as I will be on separate travel while the DepSec is at EPRI. Also, do we need to book hotels today or is that okay for Monday when Star is back?

I hope this note finds you both well. Following up on Isabelle's message below, I wanted to kindly check in regarding Deputy Secretary Danly's availability to deliver a keynote address at EPRl's upcoming Summer Seminar. As previously noted by Secretary Wright, he had indicated that in the event he was unable to attend, Deputy Secretary Danly would be the likely participant. For your convenience, I've reattached the DOE Event Request Form we shared earlier. Given the timing of the event, we'd greatly appreciate a near-term reply so we can proceed accordingly with planning. Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Izzy,
I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to kindly follow up regarding Secretary Wright' s potential attendance at EPRI' s Summer Seminar. As mentioned previously, our CEO, Arshad Mansoor, recently met with Secretary Wright at the Oklahoma State University Hamm Institute AI event, where it was confirmed that either Secretary Wright or Deputy Secretary James Danly would be able to attend.
Please find the attached agenda and speaker list again for your reference. We would appreciate it if you could share these materials with the Secretary and let us know as soon as possible when we might expect confirmation, so we can provide additional details and coordinate logistics accordingly.
Additionally, please note that we are resubmitting the event request form that we submitted April 9, 2025 for your consideration.
Thank you very much for your assistance. We look forward to your response.

As you can see from the attached, we've put together a compelling agenda and speaker list. Please share it with the Secretary and do let us know when he can confirm so we can provide more details and logistics.
