The first keynote of the day on September 28 is an operator presenting from inside one of the most complex energy enterprises in the world.

Ethan Martin, Senior Director of Enterprise Data and AI at ExxonMobil, and Jeff Woolsey, Portfolio Manager at ExxonMobil, are delivering the morning keynote, "Transforming AI into an Enterprise Capability," at the EnergyAI Users Group Annual Conference.

Two practitioners from the same organization, presenting together. What enterprise AI deployment looks like when you are doing it across upstream, downstream, and corporate functions at ExxonMobil's scale.

The questions they are working through are the questions every major operator in the room is working through. The difference is they have the deployment history and the organizational complexity to give specific answers.
