Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx and the CEO of Siemens Corp. will be among the experts discussing Charlotte’s rise as an “energy hub” at Davidson College Wednesday morning in a program tied to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.

The panel will consider Charlotte as a rising energy hub, and how sustainability initiatives are becoming major economic drivers.

Davidson President Carol Quillen will introduce the four panelists: Eric Spiegel, CEO of Siemens Corp.; Charlotte Mayor Foxx, who is a 1993 Davidson graduate; Vincent Davis of Duke Energy and Envision Charlotte; and Graham Bullock, assistant professor of environmental studies and political science at Davidson.

Bloomberg.com sustainability editor Eric Roston will moderate the discussion, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Duke Family Performance Hall at Knobloch Campus Center. There is no charge to attend, but tickets are required. They can be reserved for a small processing fee at www.davidson.edu/tickets, or obtained at the door on the morning of the event if any remain.
