Case study
Atlantic Council · Global Energy Forum
The Global Energy Forum, synthesized — and sourced to the second.
The Global Energy Forum brings the world's energy and security leaders together for two intense days across two stages. Commissioned by the Atlantic Council, BanterBox Live organized that program into twelve common themes — every key quote linked to the exact second it was spoken, all vetted and refined by Atlantic Council editors.

01 — The challenge
More sessions than any attendee could follow.
No one at the Global Energy Forum could attend every session — or trace the throughlines across two stages and dozens of panels over two days.
And once the lights came up, more than thirty hours of consequential energy-and-security dialogue lived in recordings almost no one revisits: You can watch a session end-to-end, or you can't find the moment at all. For an institution measured on year-round relevance, sponsor value, and thought leadership between events, that's a standing asset left on the table. The arguments that mattered are left buried somewhere in hours of recordings.
02 — What we built
The whole Forum, organized — and vetted by the Council's experts.
No AI team on the Council's side. BanterBox took the recordings, agenda, and speaker roster and organized them into an editorial synthesis — themes, takeaways, and every quote linked to its moment — all shaped and refined by Atlantic Council experts.
Twelve common themes
The whole Forum boiled down to the dozen arguments that actually shaped it — each with an editorial summary and the perspectives speakers brought to it.
Watch the moment, not the whole session
78 key moments, each checked against the transcript and deep-linked to the exact second it was spoken — no scrubbing six hours of video to find it.
A map of the connections
An interactive concept map of the recurring ideas and how topics connect across sessions — the throughlines no single attendee could trace.
Consensus & Fault Lines
A purpose-built read that surfaces where speakers agreed and where they diverged — turning hours of debate into a readable map of the discussion.
The whole Forum, in one read
Both days across every stage, brought together into a single comprehensive synthesis after the Forum closed — one authoritative read of the entire program.
Shaped by the Council's editors.
AI-accelerated, but vetted, shaped, and refined by Atlantic Council editors and experts — AI and people — with the models, hosting, and upkeep handled by BanterBox.
