Join us for an exclusive webinar featuring renowned market analyst Keith Fitz-Gerald as he delves into the critical topics shaping today's business and IT landscapes, the potential of AI in different industries and the state of the U.S. economy. Keith also provides in-depth market analysis and long-term investment strategies to secure your financial future, and identifies current global market concerns, the impact of offshoring and effective digital strategies.

Nebulous macroeconomic conditions—global conflict, a complicated financial market landscape, and the fast-moving advancement of AI, to name just a few—are forcing executives to more closely scrutinize budgets, including IT investments. What's in store for the socioeconomic landscape in 2024? Join Keith Fitz-Gerald, principal of the Fitz-Gerald Group, as he talks with WWT's Matthew Coble about the global trends that business leaders should keep in mind heading into the balance of this year. Keith and Matthew also discuss how to best communicate the role AI will have on business models in the future, how technology is transforming some of the world's leading companies and which companies and verticals to keep an eye on in the near-term.

The idea of operational visibility in the utilities industry has changed dramatically over time — from physical eyes on machines decades ago to a more data-centric approach today. But utility companies plagued with legacy infrastructure and outdated systems are struggling to keep up. Join WWT Utilities and Energy Principle Adam Nathan as he talks about ways utilities can more systematically capture data detailing the performance of major systems — all in the name of transformation. Adam also talks about how leaders can drive more operational visibility from a people, process and technology viewpoint, and what best practices are taking place in the market today.

Digital transformation initiatives are making oil and gas organizations more intelligent and aware. But as oil and gas companies become more connected, it's also creating a threat landscape drastically different from what leaders in the space have become accustomed to. Join WWT's Alex Bond, an OT security technical solutions architect, as he talks about key tenants of OT security — visibility, segmentation and secure remote access — and how they should be approached from a broader OT security strategy. Alex also talks about how CISOs and other security leaders can make the case for security as a business necessity and what to do to scale your strategy to locations around the globe.

The exponential growth of data in the oil and gas industry is presenting leaders with unique opportunity to finally drive long-desired use cases such as remote- or tablet-controlled operations. But to do it, those leaders will have to invest in intelligent automation, which combines robotic process automation with machine learning and artificial intelligence to create smart bots and automated process discovery. Join WWT's Matthew Crook, who has over 15 years experience guiding clients through complex technical challenges, as he talks about how you can move beyond departmental deployments to the fully automated enterprise. Matthew also talks about IT/OT convergence, details how you can integrate IA with existing automation efforts already taking place and what the future holds with generative AI.

Oil and gas companies produce massive amounts of data, but often struggle to access or extract that data to improve the experience for customers and employees alike. By seamlessly analyzing and integrating data into daily workflows, organizations can enhance safety, increase productivity across the workforce and deliver prescriptive insights to enable improved decision making. It's called the connected worker. Join WWT industry specialist Matthew Nalbone, with many years of practical experience in the oil and gas industry, as he talks about the technologies needed to make a connected worker a reality, the benefits it's driving in industries such as oil and gas, and what companies are getting connected worker right today.
