As the economy becomes both energy- and data-intensive, digital maturity and energy operations are increasingly intertwined. The AI in Energy conference will take place on 27 May 2026 at the Marriott Hotel Budapest and aims to demonstrate how data and artificial intelligence are becoming concrete business resources for energy companies.
Organizers state that AI has moved beyond pilot projects and is entering day-to-day operations. The event focuses on how corporate data assets can be converted into measurable financial outcomes. Companies that rapidly integrate data-driven AI solutions into their operations stand to gain sustainable business advantages, while those that delay technological adoption risk falling behind in a short time.
Program and thematic focus
The conference examines the subject across three interconnected sections:
- From data to AI strategies: how data usage becomes a strategic capability.
- Practical implementation of data-driven operations: concrete business solutions and implementation challenges.
- From strategic decision to value creation: how technological investments can be translated into measurable business value.
Sessions will use concrete examples, business dilemmas and decision-making scenarios to illustrate how corporate operations are changing as data becomes a strategic component.
