The biggest event of the year in data and AI is upon us! As Industry Marketing Leader for Energy & Utilities at Databricks, I couldn’t be more excited for Data and AI Summit, taking place in San Francisco, June 9-12, 2025. More than 20,000 data and AI leaders will descend on Moscone Center to take part in 700+ sessions, keynotes and training at the world’s largest data, analytics and AI conference.
A foundational part of this year’s show includes the Energy & Utilities Industry Experience. This blog highlights the what, but let’s start with why now.
Energy leaders are transforming industry, leveraging the potential of all their data and AI, and bringing data intelligence to every team. Energy organizations are exploring how data helps shift from reactive maintenance to predictive, risk-based asset integrity & safety management, a key shift to reduce downtime, enhance worker safety, and extend asset life that lowers O&M costs.
For their many decentralized and geographically diverse teams, they’re shifting from manual, field-level operations to intelligent, autonomous energy infrastructure - real-time, AI-driven energ trading, grid balancing, and generation scheduling across fuels and renewables. The benefit they’re seeing? Improved trading margins, stabilized renewable intermittency and enhanced grid reliability, all foundational to helping meet fluctuating customer demands.
Lastly, Energy leaders are shifting beyond carbon as compliance to data-driven decarbonization & new energy business models - using AI to optimize emissions reduction, track ESG metrics and enable low-carbone services. Not only are they improving ESG performance, they are better supporting transition goals and creating monetizable decarbonization services.
At this year’s Data and AI Summit, Energy leaders will take to the stage to share their story - just how they’re moving the needle, with data intelligence. Let’s dive into what you can expect in few short weeks at the event.
Energy & Utilities Industry Experience
Mid-afternoon Tuesday, June 10, we’ll kick off the week with our marquee Energy & Utilities Industry Forum. From 2:40 p.m. - 3:40 p.m. in Moscone West, you’ll hear from senior leaders from organizations including Shell, NOV, Westinghouse Electric, and Southern Company on how they’re thinking about the transformative power of data and AI.
Following the Forum, you’ll have an opportunity to network with hundreds of other industry peers at the Industry Networking Reception.
On Wednesday and Thursday, tens of energy & utilities thought leaders will showcase how they’re thinking about industry challenges in the context of data. I picked out a few notable sessions - reserve your spot before seats fill up!
So many other amazing industry leaders will share their story - check it out in the Data and AI Summit Energy & Utilities Industry Experience guide.
Running Tuesday through Thursday during Expo Hall hours, discover how the Data Intelligence Platform for Energy comes to life. Visit the Industry Lounge on the Expo floor to chat with our industry experts who will walk you through action-packed demos and solution accelerators to get started quickly.
We’re excited to showcase use cases delivering true value in industry today, including predictive maintenance for uptime and cost with pipeline health monitoring and grid modernization.
DAIS 2025 is shaping up to be the biggest yet, and I look forward to seeing you at this year’s Summit. We welcome you to join us. Check out the full Energy & Utilities Industry Experience here, and get registered today!
