VENUE

Downstream Oil, Gas, Heavy Industry and Chemical producers are embracing disruptive technologies, with digitalization reshaping business models and processes.

This rapid evolution of technology creates an impetus for digital initiatives that harness AI, IoT, ML, Automation, Data Science, Digital Twins and Emerging Technologies to unlock cost savings, improve reliability, increase sustainability, mitigate risks, empower workforces, and enhance asset optimization.

Staying ahead of the curve is critical, yet driving transformation becomes increasingly challenging amid global market uncertainty, ongoing volatility, workforce shortages and growing pressures for decarbonization and energy transition.

Join industry experts in Houston this November for our 4th edition of the Downstream Automation Summit, to collaboratively discuss and share insights on how to embrace innovation and disruptive technology across your assets, operations, processes and workforces.
