Business leaders' boardroom luncheon with Sam Crafter

DMAW Lawyers recently hosted a group of business leaders for an insightful session with Sam Crafter, Chief Executive Officer, Office of Hydrogen Power South Australia.

Sam Crafter’s extensive career, with a focus on the energy and resources industries has spanned project implementation, commercial advisory, public affairs, communications and reputation management in both the public and private sector, over more than 20 years.

Delivering the hydrogen fuelled power generation and associated production and storage facilities in the Upper Spencer Gulf Region, is the objective of the office.

At this session, facilitated by principal Chris Floreani, guests enjoyed lunch in our boardroom overlooking the Adelaide CBD and a topical presentation from Sam Crafter who provided an overview of the hydrogen landscape in South Australia.
