About the Series

The Connected Worker Summit Series was launched in July 2020 as a virtual platform dedicated to advancing safety, mobility, and efficiency for industrial frontline workers. Following a successful series of online events that engaged over 3,000 global industry leaders and solution providers, the series made its in-person debut in Houston, TX in 2022.

Fast forward to 2026, the Series has evolved into a leading forum for digital transformation across plant, field, and manufacturing operations. With over 3,000 senior executives attending the in-person summits, we host three annual events focused on the oil and gas, energy, utilities, and manufacturing sectors across the United States.

Supported by a global network of experts, the events also deliver high-impact insights through industry reports, thought leadership articles, and more.

"An energizing platform to engage with industry peers, premier technology, and strategic vendors at the forefront of digital transformation in manufacturing. The event fostered meaningful conversations, sparked innovative ideas, and provided valuable insights into how connected worker technologies are reshaping the future of our industry."
Chevron Phillips Chemical Company
