In today’s operating environment, achieving operational excellence goes beyond improving efficiency or reducing downtime—it requires technology, processes, and people working together.\nJoin more than 300 industry leaders and change-makers to examine practical strategies for improving productivity, strengthening capabilities, and creating more sustainable operations. Learn how leading oil and gas companies are turning operational priorities into measurable results while building long-term momentum through team-driven transformation.\nBuilding the Next Generation of High-Performing Operations\nOil and gas operators are navigating a volatile global market while balancing reliability, resilience, and affordability. Companies at the forefront are focusing on the operational levers that can create meaningful gains, including workforce modernization, centralized operational intelligence, connected frontline operations, AI and automation, and process optimization.\nThe 2026 summit will explore how these strategies can be applied to create smarter, faster, and more sustainable operations—and move beyond theory toward practical action.\nKey Priorities Shaping the Summit\n\nAI Readiness: Develop a clear roadmap for AI adoption, identify high-value use cases, and focus on applications that can deliver meaningful operational impact.\nCost Performance & Efficiency: Improve resource allocation, identify high-value efficiencies, and support production growth while maintaining cost discipline.\nProcess Optimization: Go beyond digitalization by improving end-to-end processes, simulating outcomes, and using automation to support continuous improvement.\nIntelligent Asset Management: Move toward predictive operations through real-time data, AI-driven insights, and predictive maintenance.\nWorkforce Modernization: Build future-ready skills, strengthen frontline decision-making, and prepare employees to work effectively alongside emerging technologies.\nSafety Excellence: Modernize safety procedures through digital workflows and AI-powered insights while supporting strong safety performance across the organization.\n\nHow Dow Is Rewriting Industrial Work for the Age of AI\nLisa Williams, Senior Director of Operations Talent Strategy and Employee Experience at Dow, shares how AI-enabled workforce planning and a skills-based approach are changing the future of frontline work, with nearly every role expected to evolve within 12–18 months.\nThe session highlights how Dow is using AI to accelerate workforce planning, develop talent through a skills-based model, transform frontline roles to work alongside AI, and scale workforce transformation across operations.\n“We need to come together. Yes, we compete. Sometimes we’re co-producers. But across oil, gas and petrochemicals, there are baseline challenges we simply can’t solve alone.”\nSecure Your Pass\nRegister before August 21, 2026 to save up to $1,200.\nSecure your pass today and join more than 300 industry leaders focused on the next generation of operational excellence in oil and gas.\n
