About event

Ten years ago, Automa set out to bring automation and digitalisation conversations directly to the people building them, across Upstream, Midstream and Downstream alike. Since then, the congress has grown into a platform bringing together senior executives, operational leaders, and technical experts from the oil, gas, energy, refining, petrochemicals, pipeline, EPC, and technology sectors — creating a space to exchange practical experience, discuss industry challenges and shape the future of digital oil & gas.

The 10th anniversary edition moves beyond conceptual discussion toward proven, scalable, and economically viable digital solutions reshaping industrial operations. This year's agenda centres on technologies reaching industrial scale, AI-driven operational reliability, and enterprise-wide digital deployment — covering agentic AI systems and autonomous decision-making agents, automated drilling and smart wells, next-gen refinery optimisation, hydrogen and CO₂-ready pipeline networks, AI-enabled digital twins, autonomous drones, robotics, and workforce reskilling. Sessions also address digital logistics, supply chain resilience, IoT-enabled converged operations, and Europe's energy diversification and decarbonisation agenda — bridging strategic and technical perspectives for a smarter, cleaner, more resilient oil & gas.
