Energy AI Summit

⚪  8 April  2026  |  4 PM

⚪  JW Marriott Houston by The Galleria, Houston, TX

JOIN US THIS APRIL

Energy and oil and gas organizations are operating in an environment defined by volatility, rising operational complexity, regulatory pressure and accelerating expectations around sustainability and resilience. Traditional operating models, fragmented data landscapes, and reactive decision making are increasingly misaligned with the pace and scale of change facing the sector. Leaders are under pressure to maintain reliability and profitability while modernizing aging infrastructure and managing growing interdependencies across the value chain.

​

This executive exchange brings together senior leaders from across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations to explore how AI, IT-OT, Cloud, data analytics and emerging technologies can support more resilient and adaptive energy systems. The focus is not on technology adoption for its own sake, but on how leaders can improve visibility, reduce operational risk, and make better decisions in environments where disruption is no longer an exception but a constant.

​

Through keynote perspectives and peer-led discussions, participants will examine how to strengthen operational foundations, embed resilience into everyday processes and guide organizations through sustained transformation. The conversation will emphasize practical lessons, leadership judgment and the human dimensions of change that are critical to navigating the next decade of evolution in the global energy landscape.
