What Our Attendees Say
This conference gave me the platform to truly connect with the audience on topics that concern us all. I enjoyed being able to speak freely and just lay down the reality of AI and digitalization; to discuss events and opportunities beyond the hype.
This was a well-organized event with high-caliber speakers and curated companies in attendance. It was worth it!
The sessions were focused, relevant, and honest. It was great to hear how people are actually applying AI in the field—whether it’s cutting emissions, reducing costs, or supporting operators day to day. The cross-company conversations sparked a lot of ideas, and I walked away with practical takeaways we can apply at Detechtion and with our customers.
This was a really good conference to research the AI tools that are emerging, and to integrate that thought process into our business and business practices.
