It is held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The published audience includes energy operations and plant teams, control room and SCADA practitioners, digital and AI leaders, OT security specialists, engineering teams, and deployment partners.
It is most useful for operations, digital and OT leaders at Appalachian gathering, compression, pipeline and plant businesses who need to move AI from pilots to repeated deployment, since speakers come from Williams, UGI Energy Services, Northeast Natural Energy and Shell Polymers and the program covers governance, data readiness and cybersecurity alignment. Those seeking a general AI overview or a large exhibition would get less from it, as the focus is implementation for regional energy operators, with technology partners and integrators as one audience segment among several.
Energy industry conferences in Pittsburgh usually call for business casual, such as collared shirts and slacks, and some attendees from field and plant backgrounds dress more plainly; a jacket helps in November's cold.
