Naturally, Branson was also spotted at the Energy Disruptors Unite conference, as he was the headlining speaker on a list that included Emergent CEO Holly Ransom, ENMAX President and CEO Gianna Manes, and The Globe and Mail Editor-in-Chief David Walmsley.

If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the billionaire, you may just get that chance as the two-day conference only began on May 15.
