9:15 AM – 10:00 AM
Delivering the Last Mile: On the Factory Floor and Beyond

Industrial change has been constant since last year’s Impact 2025 in Houston; manufacturing continues to reshore, demand for affordable energy is increasing, and data sovereignty is even more pressing. All these factors continue to test the limits of today’s legacy industrial processes and the front-line industrial heroes tasked with keeping operations running. The good news? The technology landscape is rising to the occasion. In this keynote, Cognite CEO Girish Rishi will lay out the major milestones in Industrial AI that are closing the value gap on the carpeted and uncarpeted floors while accelerating the delivery of Cognite’s MoonShot mission of $100B in value to customers by 2035. Join for the executive perspective and to hear directly from new Cognite customers who are innovating at the speed of their operations.

10:00 AM – 10:40 AM
The (wild) state of Industrial AI

Industrial AI is in uncharted territory, with new technology and model upgrades, constant change management, and a widening gap between hype and reality. So where should industrial organizations focus for the highest impact? What are the consistent keys to success among all the noise? In this session, Colin Masson, Director of Research for Industrial AI at ARC Advisory Group,  will discuss the ongoing change, key use cases, and share case studies on Industrial AI success using trends and anecdotes from ARC’s own research. Get practical takeaways for navigating the technological change more effectively and drive faster success with your own program.


Colin Masson, ARC Advisory Group Inc.

10:40 AM – 11:10 AM
The Industrial Data Foundation for Autonomous Robotics

As one of Germany's four transmission system operators, Amprion manages 11,000 kilometers of extra-high voltage grid for over 29 million people. Amprion is pushing reliability to a new level by reimagining innovation for critical infrastructure. In this session, Amprion shares how they built a trusted data foundation using Cognite's industrial knowledge graph to power autonomous substation inspections across rovers, robot dogs, and drones. With more frequent inspection cycles, earlier detection of critical deviations, and reduced operational risk at a scale, autonomous inspection are providing actionable information faster than ever before. Dr. Alexander Schütz and Patrick Kleu will share Amprion’s vision for the next generation of reliability with a trusted data foundation and autonomous robotics.

11:10 AM – 11:20 AM
Expo Coffee Break

Take a short pause to stretch your legs, grab a cup of coffee or water, and recharge. Use this brief intermission to use the facilities or chat with peers before we resume our upcoming sessions.




11:20 AM – 12:00 PM
The Wall Between Production and the Supply Chain is Coming Down

For decades, production and supply chain operations have run in parallel, optimized in isolation, blind to each other's realities, and paying a heavy price for it. In this session, O&G operators, AWS, and Cognite make the case for why that wall preventing integrated operations is coming down and what becomes possible when it does. Drawing on operations domain expertise, a world-class cloud and AI foundation, and an operations knowledge graph that contextualizes real-time data across production and supply chain, the panelists will share how manufacturing and energy companies are reducing decision latency, protecting margins, and moving from reactive firefighting to continuously adaptive, data-driven operations. The result is higher revenue, lower operational costs, and smarter ways of working through a unified view of production and supply chain operations that unlocks value organizations have been unable to address previously.

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Lunch & Networking Expo

Enjoy lunch in the restaurant then we encourage you to use time after to walk the expo, meet with our incredible local sponsors, and discover new solutions.




1:00 PM – 1:45 PM
Realizing Next-Gen Operations

In this session, Chief Product Officer Chirayu Shah will share how the Cognite industrial AI and data platform is pushing the boundaries of what's possible with industrial AI. Powered by the industry's leading industrial knowledge graph that contextualizes real-time data across all data types, Cognite Flows and Atlas AI deliver the next generation of industrial user experiences and intelligence, purpose-built to turn industrial data into action. From the plant floor to the supply chain, Chirayu will lay out Cognite's bold product strategy and direction, and show how Cognite is helping customers scale industrial AI into measurable business impact.

1:45 PM – 2:15 PM
The industrial AI journey begins with the data foundation

Industrial transformation requires more than technology; it depends on robust data foundations, shared understanding, and business ownership. At Skagerak Kraft, a company-wide data governance program has driven broad adoption of Cognite Data Fusion, built on an enterprise data model and practical, reusable applications. The result is actionable insight across power trading, water management, condition monitoring, and maintenance. Together, this forms a scalable foundation for accelerating the use of AI and advanced analytics.

2:30 PM – 3:10 PM
Beyond the Archive Era: Architecting the Future Open Enterprise Historian

For decades, legacy historians served as a reliable rearview mirror—storing data in rigid hierarchies built for time-series monitoring. But as asset-heavy industries pivot toward autonomous operations, this legacy approach leaves critical data trapped in proprietary silos. The Intelligence Era requires a fundamental paradigm shift: an Open Enterprise Historian.  Join leaders from Cognite, TGS Prediktor, and a global industrial operator for a panel that will contrast rigid asset hierarchies against flexible, labeled property graph modeling. Learn how automated contextualization unifies live instrumentation with engineering intent (P&IDs, 3D models) to ensure enterprise-wide governance, prevent data leakage, and deliver trusted data directly to generative AI agents.

3:10 PM – 3:50 PM
Building the Open Architecture for True Industrial Transformation with Sovereign, Scalable Data Foundations

Most industrial organizations are data-rich but insight-poor, constrained by fragmented infrastructures that require heavy, bespoke engineering for every new application. To shift from siloed proofs of concept to enterprise-wide scaling, organizations need an architectural paradigm shift rooted in openness, interoperability, and trust.
This session brings together Microsoft and Cognite, moderated by a leading industry analyst, to explore how Microsoft’s enterprise data capabilities and Cognite’s Industrial Knowledge Graph work together seamlessly to deliver compounding value: all ecosystem solutions consume real-time, trusted data, and feed insights back to make the foundation smarter over time. With a focus on energy and power & utilities, discover how this scalable, open approach enables operators, partners, and developers to plug into a common data foundation—accelerating innovation, reducing time-to-value, and maximizing technology ROI.
