Pre-Conference Workshop & Masterclass - February 23, 2026

9:45 AM Agentic AI in the Energy Industry: From Challenges to Impact

Agentic AI systems are capable of making autonomous decisions that can reshape workflows and unlock efficiency across the energy value chain. Yet adopting these systems in practice comes with real challenges: most AI agents are not built with the industry’s requirements for data governance, operational security, and subject-matter expertise in mind.

This workshop is designed to bridge that gap. You’ll learn how to navigate implementation hurdles and realize the business value Agentic AI can deliver, including:

Enhancing SME expertise by applying Agentic AI to energy-specific use cases
Going beyond data queries to generate actionable insights and resolution recommendations
Learning from real deployments at SynMax, where Agentic AI is used with highly valuable and sensitive data
Pinpointing applications with tangible ROI, accelerating workflows, reducing bottlenecks, and creating new opportunities for innovation
Addressing workforce readiness by identifying skill gaps and designing upskilling programs to support effective collaboration with Agentic AI
