We’re bringing Colorado’s geothermal community together on Thursday, December 17, at The Buffalo Rose in Golden. We hope to upgrade to a slightly larger and more interesting space for this year's event. It’s a great opportunity to connect with colleagues, meet new people across the industry, and celebrate the momentum behind geothermal energy in Colorado. Registration is $45 per ticket. Support this Event with Sponsorship or donations. We have several options for supporting this year's event:

The CORE has called, it's time to join us for some great networking at the Prost Brewing Co.
We are extremely fortunate to have SABATA sponsor the TAB!
This event will be from 5PM-7PM MDT

Presented by Jared Peacock, Research Geologist with US Geologist Survey
A recent Department of Energy award to support drilling efforts highlights the potential and further understanding of the volcanic heat source and hydrothermal system.  In 2027, a large geophysical data collection effort will take place on Augustine, including airborne electromagnetics, ground-based magnetotellurics and gravity, and drone-based magnetics and thermal infrared.  Plans are being developed to collect regional-scale magnetotelluric and gravity surveys in the interior of Alaska to help locate areas of interest.

The 2026 Geothermal Rising Conference in Houston was remarkable in many ways. Many attendees noted a different vibe at this year’s conference, a sense that we are entering a new phase. As Patrick Hanson wrote: “The crossover between geothermal and O&G is no longer theoretical. Directional drilling, completions, subsurface characterization, well construction, stimulation, project development and the culture of learning through repeated field execution are all increasingly relevant.”

Join the RIG conversation at the next Pacific Northwest Regional Interest Group webinar. Patrick Hanson is moderating an expert panel, including-

Caity Smith, Chair of the GR Policy Committee and XGS Energy Director of Stakeholder Engagement
Ally Kranz, Hexagon Energy Director of Development
Bill Henry, Energy Project Development Consultant

Rand Gardner, Supervisory Geologist (Basin Modeler), U.S. Geological Survey
The U.S. Geological Survey is applying basin modeling techniques for geothermal exploration and resource assessments across the U.S. and globally.
