Reasons to Attend:
Energy
The energy sector is navigating the most complex transition in a generation. Aging assets, a shifting generation mix, and rising performance expectations are creating new operational risk. For those ready to move, the opportunity is just as significant.
Enter the Era of Limitless Energy
See how Industrial AI is helping energy companies manage aging assets, optimize generation performance, and navigate the transition without compromising reliability or margin. Real organizations, real outcomes and a clear path to limitless performance.

What's on for Energy
Unleashed brings together energy operators, partners, and industry leaders to explore The Era of Limitless Industry. Browse sessions spanning Industrial AI, capital project performance, and energy transition strategy, then see the full agenda to plan your time in Orlando and see where the industry is heading.
Agenda highlight 1
From Integrated to Autonomous: Redefining Utility Operations with Industrial and Physical AI
Speakers:
Deloitte and 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.
Agenda highlight 2
The Real Cost of the Aging Grid & Decision Gap
Speakers:
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 2
From Vision to Execution: How Utilities Turn Integrated ALM into Real Operational Impact
Speakers:
David Pacetti, TECO (Tampa Electric)
Hear from operators who are living it: what the first use cases looked like, where value showed up faster than expected, where it didn’t, and how governance and leadership had to change as the program scaled.
Agenda highlight 2
Scaling with Industrial AI: Different Starting Points, One Blueprint
Speakers:
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.
Agenda highlight 2
One Scenario. Full Cycle. This Is Industrial AI in Utilities.
Speakers:
Steve Ridley and Lacey Lurges, IFS
One utility scenario played out in full — capital prioritized, work sequenced, a disruption hits, decisions adapt. See Industrial AI act across every decision point in the cycle, from investment intent to frontline execution, adapting in real time as constraints change. No theory. No slides. Just the system running.
Agenda highlight 2
Behind Closed Doors: How Utility Leaders Are Navigating the Hard Decisions on AI and Operations
Speakers:
Ole Schjødt-Osmo, Statnett
Sheldon Smith, Sask Energy
A peer-led executive roundtable exploring the real barriers to scaling AI-enabled ALM: governance, trust, data readiness, and workforce adoption. Focused on the leadership decisions that remove them and the first production use cases that justify broader investment.
Agenda highlight 3
What the Energy & Utilities Industry Needs Next and How IFS Is Answering.
Speakers:
Martin Harris and Aaron Sleight, IFS
From AI-driven capital prioritization and autonomous execution agents in market today, to fully autonomous asset lifecycle operations and self-adjusting investment portfolios. See the full IFS Energy & Utilities roadmap and shape where your investment goes next.

Why Unleashed. Why now.
The energy companies pulling ahead aren’t waiting for the transition to stabilize. They’re building the operating model to lead it. This is where the grid gets charged.
Insight Charged With Operational Intelligence
Understand what separates operators who reallocate assets in hours from those who take weeks, and how the right operational intelligence safeguards margins, availability, and capital efficiency.
AI in Action Across Your Assets
Live demonstrations covering renewable and conventional asset management, field workforce optimization, and how energy operators use Industrial AI to maximize availability and protect cost targets.
Keynotes That Shape What's Next
Hear from energy leaders who have stopped waiting for volatility to ease and started making the decisions that protect performance across conventional and renewable generation.
AI Startup Hall
Discover Industrial AI companies solving energy challenges with no scalable answer until now, from predictive asset performance management to intelligent crew deployment and cost control.
Energy Industry Breakouts
Build your agenda around the priorities shaping energy performance today. Sessions cover asset lifecycle, field service, production operations, renewable asset management and profitability in a volatile market.
Hands-On Learning and Training
Expert-led workshops and live demos built around IFS capabilities for energy operators. Leave with practical tools, a clearer implementation path and the confidence to lead the transition rather than follow it.
Training registration coming soon.
Insight Charged with Operational Intelligence
05.
What you'll leave with
What the data says about protecting asset performance through the energy transition
Independent benchmarks and real energy company examples showing how operators protect capital efficiency when the generation mix is shifting and volatility is high. Evidence you can act on.
A practical path for advancing asset lifecycle management as the generation portfolio grows more complex
See where IFS is investing next across the energy value chain, then shape those priorities based on your operational reality. Leave with a clear view of what comes next and what to do first.
Industrial AI applied to real energy operations, live
Customer stories and live demonstrations showing how energy companies connect capital planning, asset health, and field execution. See what a working operational intelligence model looks like from the inside.
A peer network built on the realities of transition
Energy operators, capital planning leaders, and asset management executives managing the same transition pressures in the same uncertain market. The kind of peer relationships that inform decisions for years.
Be Part of the Era of Limitless Industry
From first-time attendees to returning champions, Unleashed 2026 brings your transformation into focus and turns vision into action.
