Key Sessions from Our Agenda
Unleashed features more than 100 breakout sessions focused on the decisions that impact operational performance most. From AI governance to workforce constraints and supply chain disruption, sessions deliver real customers, real data, and real results.
Agenda highlight 1
Fewer Experts. Older Assets. Higher Expectations. Industrial AI Is Rewrites Asset Lifecycle Management
Speaker:
Brian O'Rourke, IDC
The data is in. See research partner quantifies what separates top and bottom performers on planned vs unplanned maintenance ratios, condition-based monitoring adoption, and capital accuracy.

Agenda highlight 2
From Integrated to Autonomous: Redefining Utility Operations with Industrial and Physical AI
Speaker:
Carol Johnston, IFS
Integration alone is no longer enough. As operational volatility rises and capital decisions carry greater consequence, human-coordinated operations hit a ceiling. This keynote shows what it takes to make the shift: planning, investment, maintenance, and execution continuously sensing, deciding, and adapting across the asset lifecycle without losing governance, control, or trust.

Why a Supermajor Chose IFS for Asset Management at Global Scale
Speaker:
Herman Nieuwoudt, IFS
Hear from a global energy supermajor that selected IFS for 13,500 users across upstream, downstream, and renewables while integrating into a complex enterprise stack. Get insights on why the shift was made, what’s working, and how the program is extending into execution, projects, and sustainability; and what it really takes to deliver speed, reliability, and control across a global operation.

The Real Cost of the Aging Grid & The Decision Gap
Speaker:
Reza Jenab, PwC
Industry Analysts and Utility Experts draw on independent benchmarks and real utility examples, this session exposes the hidden decision gap between capital planning, asset performance, and field execution and what the data says it is really costing you.
Agenda highlight 3
Scaling with Industrial AI: Different Starting Points, One Blueprint
Speaker:
Paul Womelsdorf, Eversource
Utilities are adopting AI-driven ALM from very different starting points; yet the most successful converge on the same outcome. Multiple utility perspectives explore how ALM is expanded over time, where value is realized first, and how leaders balance pace, risk, and governance as autonomy scales.
