Norris Conference Center (CityCentre), Houston, TX

With the rapid pace of innovation in AI, energy and utilities leaders face a critical question: How do we invest in AI today without being left behind tomorrow? With AI capabilities doubling every 6–10 months, the risk of technological obsolescence is real and costly. Poorly chosen initiatives can lead to mounting technical debt, draining resources from high-value opportunities and delaying ROI in markets where every dollar must count.

Every year, the AI in Energy Summit brings together 150+ senior operations, digital, data, and AI leaders from utilities, oil and gas, power generation and renewables for two days in Houston - the heart of energy innovation. This isn’t just another AI conference. It’s where the real-world meets real results. Join your peers and:

    • Hear directly from operators who’ve taken AI projects from proof of concept to full deployment and what it really takes to get there
    • Dive into 10+ operator-led case studies that showcase proven AI applications in asset optimization, predictive maintenance, emissions reduction, and supply chain efficiency
    • Learn how to clean, structure, and govern data to make it AI-ready, one of the biggest hurdles to long-term success
    • Get frameworks for aligning AI with business goals, prioritizing projects, and overcoming resistance to change across your org
    • Discover what’s actually working in AI today. Including GenAI, ML Ops, Agentic AI, Digital Twins, and real-time decision support, and what’s still a work in progress
If you're responsible for operational efficiency, digital transformation, or AI strategy, this is the event for you.
