Returning, February 23-25, 2026
Norris Conference Center (CityCentre), Houston, TX

The 2025 AI in Energy Summit welcomed more than 150 senior operations, digital, data, and AI leaders from across the energy sector, for two action-packed days of learning and networking.

The summit took place in Houston, where leaders gathered to learn how to leverage AI to drive asset performance and operational efficiencies across their organization. Through 10+ real-world operator case studies, 4 dedicated tracks, four 90-minute operator-led workshops, multiple keynotes, and much more, attendee's walked away with valuable knowledge in how to create an AI strategy, identify use cases of AI, build the data foundation for AI and how to scale AI projects.

After an incredible Summit, the 3rd AI in Energy Summit will take place in February 23-25, 2026!

2025 Speaker Recap

5 Key Takeaways from AI in Energy 2025
Successful AI-Driven Transformation Hinges on Employee Engagement & Leadership Buy-In

Unwavering executive support and a culture of trust with employees is fundamental for successful AI-driven transformation. There needs to be explainability to AI solutions, with an understanding of it’s true capabilities to ensure on-going sponsorship. A clearly defined message to the workforce, of removing monotonous administration tasks to pivot to a focus of high value work, creates a foundation for successful change management.

The Technology Works, but it isn’t the Universal Solution to Every Challenge

AI proof of concepts have demonstrated the ability to solve previously insurmountable challenges, with most early AI investments creating accuracy rates exceeding 90%+, however AI can only succeed in specific business cases. AI adoption should be focused on employee productivity, workflow optimization and strategic differentiation.

AI’s Potential is not in Question—The Focus Must Now Shift to Execution

All segments of the energy value chain are interacting with AI, with some successful proof of concept projects completed and some being stuck in the data review phase. However, there are still major challenges in applying AI for full-scale production applications. This can only be completed by addressing cybersecurity risks, ensuring AI capabilities are future-proofed and by having a conducive organizational structure and culture.

Without Clearly Defined Strategies and Goals you are Destined to Fail

The importance of an AI implementation roadmap is widely regarded as essential for successfully transforming operations, however many of these roadmaps are built on faulty foundations. Instead of identifying inefficiencies and seeking suitable AI solutions, many have become enamoured with an AI solution and then search for its applications. This approach, akin to trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, often fails to deliver real business value. We must start with clearly defined goals and strategize that align with these solutions.

Human Decision-Making vs AI Decision Making – Choosing the Correct Implementation Cases

The value of AI for expediating workflows through quick access to reliability and maintenance data has revolutionized predictive maintenance frameworks. However, in high-risk scenarios where the safety of frontline workers can be compromised, human decision-making must lie at the epicentre of operational decisions. Remember, AI only knows what it has learned from your data. Models often lack historical context, and we must honestly ask ourselves: Are we posing the right questions to develop an optimal algorithm?
