Jason Event: 2026 IADC/SPE Drilling Conference Where: Galveston Convention Center, Galveston, Tx When: 17-19 March 2026 Who: 2024 Attendance - 960 persons from US, Norway, Canada, UK, Brazil Keynote Timing: Tuesday, 17 March 2026, 9:20AM (30 minutes including Q&A) Conference themes are 1. Balancing Al and Human Expertise. Advancing Advocacy. Empowering Society 2. Intelligent Energy: Engineering Impact Through Innovation and The themes will be the subject of a moderated Panel session on both the 17th and 18th. Balancing Al and Human Expertise. Advancing Advocacy. Empowering Society In an era of heightened public scrutiny, the oil and gas industry faces a growing imperative: to communicate its role in delivering reliable, responsible energy more effectively - and more authentically to advance human lives. This panel convenes experts from advertising, marketing, energy education, and other industries that have successfully navigated similar perception challenges to explore strategies for building trust and driving informed dialogue. Panelists will share insights from industry sectors that, like energy, are essential yet often misunderstood. The session will examine how compelling storytelling, strategic partnerships, and data-driven messaging can be used to reshape how drilling and energy development are viewed by the public, policymakers, and the next generation of talent. Key topics will include: Sierra Club v. Dept of Energy, 4:25-cv-5027 SC_EVERSPLIT0027122  How do we move from defensive communication to proactive, purpose-driven advocacy? What branding and outreach strategies have successfully shifted public perception in other sectors? How can the industry better engage educators, media, and communities to build long-term support? What role do digital platforms and influencers play in modern energy advocacy? This session aims to equip leaders with actionable tools and fresh perspectives to champion the industry's future - by clearly demonstrating its essential contributions to global progress, innovation, and human well-being. Intelligent Energy: Engineering Impact Through Innovation As artificial intelligence (Al) reshapes industries at an unprecedented pace, the energy sector faces a critical challenge - and opportunity - in integrating cutting-edge digital solutions while preserving the irreplaceable value of human expertise. This panel brings together thought leaders from tech giants, management consultants, academia, and human resources to explore how Al is being leveraged in other industries and what lessons can be applied to oil and gas. Panelists will examine real-world examples of Al leadership outside our sector, identifying scalable practices that align with the technical and safety-critical nature of drilling. The session will focus on how energy organizations can adopt and adapt these innovations while maintaining - and maximizing - the contribution of experienced personnel. Key questions include: How do we design Al systems that enhance, rather than replace, human decision-making? How can we retain and evolve our experienced workforce in the face of automation? What strategies will attract a new generation of graduates to a digitally transforming oil & gas industry? What role should leadership play in bridging the gap between legacy knowledge and emerging technologies? Sierra Club v. Dept of Energy, 4:25-cv-5027 SC_EVERSPLIT0027123 By examining both the promise and the pitfalls of rapid Al integration, this session will chart a path forward for our industry leaders committed to building a hybrid intelligence model - one that blends machine learning with human judgment to drive innovation, safety, and sustainability.
