AI isn’t just about industry getting smarter machines—it’s about people getting an upgrade. In this fun, interactive, informational session, we’ll explore how automation and artificial intelligence can act as a human operating system update, expanding our decision-making capacity, creativity, and collaboration across the petrochemical and energy sectors. Drawing on our backgrounds in chemical engineering, sustainability, and law, we’ll look at how AI can help humans step-up the mental game—making complex decisions faster, replacing uninspiring chores with more valuable, more engaging work. And yes, we’ll demo it live: the audience can watch AI tools produce value in real-time, in seconds, and then compare AI’s conclusions against human intuition. We’ll move beyond buzzwords to explore how organizations can embrace AI ethically, inclusively, and sustainably, ensuring people stay at the heart of digital transformation.

Curious about how AI is reshaping the public sector? This high-level, jargon-free (well, almost!), one-hour presentation will look at using AI to create public “exponential” institutions—ones that use scalable technology to significantly multiply positive impacts for ratepayers. We’ll take a look at AI in general, what other jurisdictions are doing with it, and potential first steps into AI exploration and integration. Discover tangible benefits and future possibilities of integrating AI into your office's strategy, all in under an hour.

Forget incremental change. Optimizing your workflow is a good start—but a shockwave of disruption is fundamentally rewriting every industry, and it's happening right now. In this fun, fast, demo-filled keynote, we deliver a candid, no-holds-barred look at current Gen AI. You will see how to move beyond simple automation to deploy “Shock and Awesome” AI strategies that are erasing competitors and delivering 5×, 10× or even exponential returns.
