For Energy & Utilities Leaders: Power the Next Era of Transformation

Energy and utilities organizations are at the center of unprecedented change—balancing the energy transition, grid modernization, and operational resilience while integrating emerging technologies like AI and advanced analytics.

Leaders must modernize legacy infrastructure, optimize asset performance, and manage growing cybersecurity risks—all while delivering reliable, affordable, and sustainable services. At the same time, accelerating adoption of AI and digital technologies is reshaping how decisions are made, assets are managed, and value is delivered.

Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo helps you navigate this transformation with confidence.
Through expert insights and peer examples, you will learn how to:

Apply AI and advanced analytics to optimize asset-intensive operations
Modernize platforms and operating models to support grid and infrastructure evolution
Strengthen cybersecurity and resilience across critical systems
Turn emerging technologies into measurable business and operational value

This is where energy and utilities leaders turn disruption into opportunity and build the foundations for a more resilient, intelligent future.
