What is Energy Investors Forum (EIF)?
Brought to you by the team behind TheEnergyMag (formerly TheMinerMag), EIF is a high-signal conference focused on the intersection of energy, compute, and capital. We convene executives, investors, developers, miners, data center operators, utilities, and infrastructure providers to discuss where the next wave of value creation is emerging across power, AI infrastructure, and energy-intensive computing.
Who should attend
EIF is built for the people deploying capital, building infrastructure, securing power, and shaping the next wave of energy and compute. Whether you are investing, operating, or supplying the stack, EIF is designed to help you meet the right people in one room.
Retail Investors
Meet executives from public and private companies and discover emerging opportunities across crypto mining, AI and energy infrastructure. If you want to gain alpha, get smarter on the AI boom, and find the next big infrastructure story before the crowd, EIF is for you.
Institutional Investors
Access management teams, project developers, and operators across energy, digital infrastructure, bitcoin mining, and AI/HPC. EIF is designed for institutions looking for differentiated deal flow, early insight, and direct access to decision-makers.
Bitcoin Miners
Meet vendors, suppliers, energy partners, investors, and potential JV counterparties. Whether you are expanding mining, exploring AI/HPC, or simply want to meet investors in person, EIF is a rare opportunity to do it all in one room.
Hyperscalers & AI/HPC Operators
Find energy sites, infrastructure partners, brokers, and operators who can support your next phase of AI/HPC growth. EIF also offers direct access to both retail and institutional investors interested in compute infrastructure.
Energy Operators, Brokers & Utilities
Meet hyperscalers, miners, developers, and investors seeking power, sites, and long-term energy relationships. EIF helps energy providers connect with the compute demand driving the current market.
Hardware & Service Providers
From silicon, ASICs, cooling, and electrical infrastructure to banking, legal, advisory, and engineering services, EIF brings together the decision-makers and buyers shaping the energy + compute stack.
