Energy Freedom Tour

The American Conservation Coalition (ACC) and the Hamm Institute for American Energy are launching the Energy Freedom Tour. A series of ten campus stops, three planned for this fall and seven more through fall 2026, the tour will bring dynamic speakers to top universities across the country. Each event is designed to hear from students, engage them on the role of energy in powering innovation and opportunity, and spark meaningful conversations about the careers and leadership paths that will shape America’s future.

From administration officials to CEOs, each stop will introduce thousands of students to a common-sense, all-of-the-above energy approach. We’re investing in the next generation by giving them a seat at the table and the tools to lead.
