The Connected Worker: Energy Summit

March 18-20, 2025 - Houston, TX, United States

The Energy Industry's Only Event Dedicated to Transforming Frontline Operations

For many energy companies, day-to-day workflows for managing critical operational activities rely on face-to-face communication, paper and spreadsheets. This manual way of working reduces efficiency, control, quality, compliance and response times - and increases operating expenses.

Connected Worker solutions provide the opportunity to unify your workforce and operational processes into a single digital workflow. With these solutions, oil and gas and utility companies can gain real-time visibility into field and plant-critical activities and improve how frontline workers track, monitor, and collaborate on operational processes, improving their accuracy, efficiency, and safety.

The Connected Worker: Energy Summit provides the opportunity for you to get hands-on with the essential solutions you need to empower your frontline workforce, hear real-word case studies from energy and utility leaders, and network with your industry peers.

Join over 300 Digital and Operations leaders at The Connected Worker: Energy Summit and learn how to:

  • Create a safer work environment, boost compliance and improve efficiencies through automation
  • Make your data mobile and reduce rework, downtime and time to decision
  • Improve workforce mobility and maximize the use of data to continuously enhance process and asset performance
  • Increase collaboration, remove organizational silos and enable cross-functional decision making throughout the asset lifecycle and supply chain
  • Increase user adoption of connected worker technology
  • Give field workers access to the information they need, where and when they need it

Who is a Connected Worker?

A Connected Worker is Efficient, Informed, Collaborative, Productive, Mobile, Safe, and Connected. This is achieved by having remote communication tools which allow collaboration with colleagues, facilities and control centers, anytime, anywhere. Real-time access to data and digital work instructions, when and where it is necessary. Access to safety protocols, real-time updates and hazard alerts to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, access to operational intelligence to aid fast and accurate data-driven decisions, and so much more.

Discover the solutions to create your own Connected Workforce at the The Connected Worker: Energy Summit.

The connected worker conference allowed me to make great connections with peers in the industry, discover new companies in the manufacturing workspace and educate my team on what others in the industry are doing well and struggling with. The environment enabled a good balance of group discussion, vendor presentations based on my interest and social events to build relationships. Overall, a great event to attend!
