While the hype around Generative AI means the business community is now aware of the technology, many people are still relative beginners as it is a relatively new and rapidly evolving field with complex concepts and a variety of technical approaches. With that in mind, this workshop will explore the underlying principles of generative AI models and learn how to design and implement them for a variety of applications.  

Key Themes: 

• Explore high-impact applications of Generative AI, from 3D object creation to interactive visuals and intelligent text generation 
• Leverage today’s tools with a clear view of the current GenAI technology landscape and what’s ready to deploy 
• Pinpoint high-value use cases to apply Generative AI where it drives the greatest business impact 
• Optimize your data and models to unlock better performance and more accurate outcomes 

As energy organizations strive to scale connected worker technologies across complex operational environments, the challenge lies not only in deploying advanced tools like AI, AR, and predictive analytics, but in aligning them with enterprise architecture, cultural readiness, and measurable ROI. This panel brings together experts to explore how you can move beyond pilot purgatory and architect scalable, secure, and future-proof solutions that empower frontline workers, enhance decision-making, and drive transformation across the value chain.

• Designing for Scale: How to move from isolated pilots to strategic, organization-wide deployment of connected worker technologies
• Cultural Architecture: Why transformation starts with people, and how to embed change management and user adoption into digital initiatives
• Small Language Models and AI Governance: Ensuring traceability, domain specificity, and regulatory compliance in AI-driven environments
• Cybersecurity and IT/OT Convergence: Managing increased threats while building trusted data environments for operational resilience
• ROI-Driven Decision Making: Using KPIs and architectural frameworks to prioritize investments and enable self-funding transformation projects
