4:00 PM Closing Keynote Panel: Turning Skepticism into Success: Scaling Digital Tools Where Work Happens

Despite the clear benefits of connected worker technologies, improved safety, efficiency, and real-time decision-making, many frontline teams remain hesitant to embrace digital tools. Resistance often stems from fear of change, lack of perceived value, or discomfort with unfamiliar systems. This session brings together energy leaders to explore proven strategies for overcoming cultural and operational barriers, building trust in analytics, and empowering frontline workers to become champions of digital transformation. Through practical examples and peer-led insights, attendees will learn how to turn skepticism into sustained adoption
