EFX25 Keynote Speakers
April Rinne | May 20
April Rinne is a change navigator, speaker, investor, and adventurer whose work and travels in more than 100 countries have given her a front-row seat to a world in flux. She is ranked one of the 50 Leading Female Futurists in the world by Forbes and is a Harvard Law School graduate, a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum, a member of the Silicon Guild and Thinkers50 Radar, a Fulbright Scholar, and the author of the international bestseller Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change.
April is a trusted advisor to well-known startups, companies, financial institutions, nonprofits, think tanks, and governments worldwide, including Airbnb, Nike, Intuit, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, AnyRoad, and Unsettled as well as governments ranging from Singapore to South Africa, Canada to Colombia, and Italy to India. For more than two decades, she’s been known for seeing emerging trends early, understanding their potential, and helping others do the same. April is also a bridge-builder between stakeholders, priorities, business models, markets, and those excited about change and those resistant to it.
Earlier in life April was a global development executive, an international microfinance lawyer, and a hiking guide. She spent the better part of four years traveling solo, with an insatiable desire to better understand how the rest of the world lives. (One lesson: Change is universal. How we deal with it is not.) A certified yoga teacher, she can often be found upside-down, doing handstands around the world.
Steve Wright | May 21
We are pleased to announce Steve Wright will moderate the conference's opening plenary on Wednesday, May 21. Steve will be joined by a panel of regional utility and energy efficiency experts for an engaging session on the future of energy efficiency in the Northwest.
In his career, Steve spent over four decades generating and distributing electricity across the Northwest. In his roles as Administrator of Bonneville Power Administration for 12 years and General Manager of Chelan PUD for 8 years, Steve became a nationally recognized leader in energy efficiency.
