Chris Wright to Address Economic Leaders at Reagan National Economic Forum

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is thrilled to announce that Chris Wright, the United States Secretary of Energy, will be one of the keynote speakers at the upcoming Reagan National Economic Forum (RNEF). This inaugural event is scheduled for May 29-30, 2025, and will take place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library located in Simi Valley, California.

The RNEF aims to embody President Reagan's vision of a resilient and booming economy that benefits all Americans. With attendance limited to a select group of industry leaders, government officials, and scholars, the forum is set to facilitate crucial discussions on navigating the multifaceted economic challenges that the nation faces today.

Roger Zakheim, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute, expressed, “We are honored to welcome Secretary Wright to the Reagan National Economic Forum. His insights into America's energy future, intersecting global markets, innovation, and national security, will enrich the discourse.” This comment underscores the importance of energy policy as a fundamental aspect of economic stability and growth.

Wright's participation highlights the forum's commitment to engaging with key figures who are actively shaping America's energy policy. His address is expected to provide critical insights into how energy sector advancements can support economic growth and foster innovation—two areas emphasized by President Reagan.

Prominent speakers joining Secretary Wright at the forum include Marc Andreessen, Co-Founder and General Partner of Andreessen Horowitz, Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, and Paul Ryan, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Their varied backgrounds promise to bring a wide array of perspectives on economic strategies moving forward.

As the RNEF aims to perpetuate Reagan's belief in free-market principles and individual opportunities for prosperity, the forum is designed to encourage a collaborative atmosphere where bipartisan solutions can be developed. David Trulio, President and CEO of the foundation, stated, “President Reagan believed in the power of innovation and the American spirit to fuel economic growth. This forum will draw on his vision to address the pressing challenges of our times.”

The event, which is only open to invitees, also requires media members to acquire credentials for attendance. As the nation continues to confront significant domestic and international challenges, the conversations held during the RNEF will be instrumental in creating actionable strategies for growth and sustainability.

The overarching mission of the Reagan National Economic Forum is to promote bipartisan engagement that strengthens fiscal and economic policies within the context of increasing global competition and national security threats. By gathering leaders from various sectors, the forum aims to build an environment that fosters innovation, opportunity, and prosperity for the United States.

For media coverage, those interested must request credentials through the forum’s media relations team.
