Industry Connect North America | Houston, February 17-18, 2027

Why attend

Focused on how to get things done

Grid connections are slow. Power costs are rising. Every plant is being asked to produce more from the equipment it already owns. We can all name the challenges. But at the same time there is a buzz around American industry as some of the challenges lead to new ideas and opportunities.

If you are focused more on how to get things done and how to compete than on what the problems are, then Industry Connect North America is for you.

You spend two days in the company of CTOs, COOs, VPs and Directors who decide where plant money goes: energy, strategic technology and asset optimization.

You leave knowing which projects work, who is paying for them and what is getting built.

Energy

Know your fastest route to power. See six supply options for an industrial site compared side by side on delivered cost and time to supply, so you can tell which ones can reach your plant sooner.
Walk into the funding conversation prepared. Hear what lenders and investors require as prices rise and tax credits end, and which contract terms they will accept.
Test your project against a price shock. At your table, work out which project still stands if power costs jump 30 percent or more, and which contract gets it approved.

AI

Find more output in equipment you already own. See how operators use remote operations and plant analytics to get more from existing assets.
Know what to fix in your data before you spend. Leave with a clear view of the data preparation any AI project needs, the truth of how long it takes and how to put a dollar value on the gain.
Write a funding case your finance team will approve. See how to build a staged case for a multi-year data and AI investment, with milestones at 6, 12 and 24 months and a budget that covers people as well as software.

Materials

Explore material innovation strategies delivering the same performance with less product.
Check the numbers on a low-carbon tonne. Follow one tonne through credits, premiums and cost of capital, see where the economics break and learn who should carry the risk on unproven technology.
Back the right projects. Hear which productivity projects are proceeding and which are prone to slipping, so you know where to commit your capacity.

Across both days

Leave with the right partners. Matchmaking is at the heart of what we do: our audiences are consistently rated highly and we will make sure you meet the right, high quality people.
Three rounds of Decision Circles give you off-the-record reality checks and the chance to deep dive on the questions that matter to your plans.
