About the event

Join us for the fourth annual AWS Energy Symposium, the premier AWS event for the energy industry. At this gathering, customers and partners from Oil & Gas, Power & Utilities, and Renewables sectors come together to exchange perspectives and knowledge on how cloud technologies and innovations like generative AI are driving significant business value through enhanced efficiency, data-driven insights, resiliency, innovation, and sustainability.

Powering energy innovation at scale

The energy sector faces a dramatic demand growth that requires a fundamental transformation in our approach to energy innovation, from digital operations to emergency response capabilities.

At the heart of this transformation is the modernization of enterprise systems and infrastructure. Organizations are leveraging cloud technology to build robust, AI-ready data foundations that can support large-scale innovation. This modernization is essential for managing the increasing complexity of integrating traditional energy sources with renewables and emerging nuclear technologies, while simultaneously optimizing operations across the entire value chain.

The path forward requires a shift from isolated pilot projects to comprehensive, enterprise-wide innovation deployment. We are bringing together energy leaders and technology innovators to tackle the industry’s most pressing challenges.

Hear from leading energy and utility customers, and partners about how they're using AWS to power energy innovation at scale and transform their organizations.
