With the government target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the energy sector now has a massive opportunity to deliver innovative solutions and change our world for the better.

In this panel discussion, moderated by Neil Carden (Data IQ Top 100), we will explore how data and AI can be used to accelerate the energy transition. Our experts will examine how digital transformations are impacting the energy sector, the skills required to drive the change that’s needed and the learnings we can apply to truly use data and AI for good.

The panel will be a 40-minute discussion followed by a Q&A session. There will be a chance to have a drink and network after the panel. 

Please note that online ticket holders will be sent a link to access the recording in the days following the event.
