Roosevelt Strategic Council Launches Ascentis Strategies Institute to Expand Commercial Event Portfolio
[Washington, D.C., May 29, 2025] – Roosevelt Strategic Council (RSC), a recognized leader in mission-critical forums for government and defense stakeholders, is proud to announce the official launch of Ascentis Strategies Institute (ASI), a new commercial-facing division that will serve as the home for RSC’s growing portfolio of events in energy, manufacturing, and emerging technologies.
Building on over a decade of expertise producing thought-leading national security summits through its sister organization, Defense Strategies Institute (DSI), Ascentis Strategies Institute (ASI) will serve as the forward-facing brand for all events, RSC remains the parent company, continuing its legacy of thought leadership, innovation, and strategic engagement at the highest levels of government and industry.
“Ascentis Strategies Institute represents the evolution of our event model,” said Luis Hernandez, Partner at Roosevelt Strategic Council. “We’re applying our proven ability to convene critical conversations—developed in the defense and public sector space—to the private sector industries shaping the future of infrastructure, energy, mobility, and data.”
Several RSC-hosted events will be rebranded under the ASI banner beginning in 2025, including conferences on campus energy resiliency and data analytics. Future events focused on upstream energy, digital manufacturing, drone capabilities, and energy usage in data centers are also being developed.
ASI’s focus areas include:
- Facilities & Campus Energy
- Sustainable Manufacturing & Industrial Innovation
- Digital Engineering for Built Environments
- Digital Transformation in Oil & Gas
The Ascentis brand reflects RSC’s continued commitment to producing forums that are substantive, strategically relevant, and actionable—where senior-level decision-makers from industry, academia, and government come together to shape the path forward.
