Attendees include leaders from utility, tech, startup, research, and other sectors working to define, discover, and convey the value AI brings to the energy industry. Previous attendees came from a wide range of leading companies, including Engie, National Grid, Tesla, Intel, Google, Schneider Electric, and Snowflake.
