Taking place on January 26–27, 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the summit brings together energy executives, technology leaders, data scientists, policymakers, and sustainability‑driven innovators.

The agenda focuses on critical themes such as AI‑driven operational excellence and asset optimization, sustainable energy transition, intelligent infrastructure and data strategy, smart supply chains and field operations, and governance & cybersecurity for AI systems.

Through real-world case studies, expert panels, and discussions of national strategies, attendees will learn how AI and automation enable predictive maintenance, emissions monitoring, efficient resource management, and an overall shift toward more efficient, sustainable, and data‑driven energy systems.

Whether you’re a leader in oil & gas, utilities, renewables, or energy infrastructure — this summit offers a platform to explore how AI is not only transforming operations, but redefining how energy is produced, delivered, and consumed for a smarter, greener future.
