Join Allstream Insiders in Houston by registering with our 15% discount code “PARTNER15”

Join us for Oil & Gas Automation & Technology Week to hear energy and industrial leaders share best practice strategies and exchange know-hows to accelerate impactful, value-driven digital transformation across assets, operations, processes, and the workforce.

For owner-operators, delaying digital transformation is no longer optional, it’s essential. Early adopters are already leveraging AI, ML, IoT, Intelligent Automation, and Data Science to transform how they operate, innovate, and compete to unlock previously untapped value.

Despite this, delivering ROI from digital initiatives while staying aligned with business objectives and stakeholder expectations remains an ongoing challenge. Ever-increasing knowledge gaps, shifting priorities, and a rapidly evolving technology and partner landscape is continuing to add to this complexity.

To help these operators overcome their rising transformation challenges, Allstream Insiders are once again excited to be an official media partner of the summit, the premier platform for industry leaders to benchmark their transformation progress, share best practices, and gain actionable strategies through interactive learning and collaboration.

Gain the necessary tools to deliver measurable impact and scalable transformation through digital innovation by learning from industry leaders, including:

  • Brent Railey, Global Manager of Data & Analytics (CDAO), Business Transformation, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company
  • Justin Ceterski, Global Operational Excellence Manager, Shell
  • Bry-Ann Salahi, Principal Application Architect, Low Carbon Solutions IT, ExxonMobil
  • Lance Medlin, CEO, Red Post Energy
  • Varun Anand PMP, PMI-ACP, CM, Enterprise Architect, Digital Transformation, PEMEX
  • Kiara Thomas, Innovation Specialist, Noble Corporation
