This conference aims to share insights and promote collaboration in digitizing the energy industry.
Despite significant investment in digital transformation, there is still room to accelerate growth through peer collaboration. The conference will explore the future of operations and decision-making, balancing the role of artificial intelligence with human involvement. With new ways of working and business models, technology must be developed with an understanding of human limitations to achieve success. Join us to share experiences, best practices, and real-world examples of industry transformation.
