AI Clean Energy Summit Seattle 2024

The first leadership summit dedicated to exploring the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the energy sector

LOCATION

Seattle Marriott Waterfront
2100 Alaskan Wy, Seattle, WA 98121


DATE

November 20, 2024
8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.


The Artificial Intelligence Clean Energy Summit (AICES) is the first series of high-profile leadership conferences in North America dedicated to exploring the influence of AI on the energy sector. On November 20, 2024, AICES will come to the Pacific Northwest – the very region spearheading America’s decarbonization and electrification efforts, as well as our nation’s rapid progress in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Infrastructure development.


The convergence of AI and the energy transition presents an extraordinary opportunity to adopt new technologies capable of meeting the growing demand for safe, reliable, affordable, and clean power. AI can catalyze the energy transition, making our path to clean power generation smoother, faster, and more efficient.
Despite its potential, AI also poses the challenge of increasing power demand to levels our grid infrastructure is not currently designed to support. Due to the growth of digital infrastructure and rapid electrification, the electric load in the Pacific Northwest is projected to increase by 20% over the next five years.


At AICES Seattle 2024, prominent policymakers, industry leaders, and leading experts will discuss the historic opportunity AI presents to accelerate the development of new forms of clean energy, meet the rapidly growing power demand, and strengthen America’s energy security.


Why Attend?


01. The demand for power is rising across the U.S.

The growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) has created a challenge: AI-driven technologies will drive our country’s power demand to levels the traditional grid infrastructure is not currently designed to support.


02. In the energy sector, AI can be a game-changer

However, recent breakthrough innovations in AI present an extraordinary opportunity to adopt new technologies and systems capable of meeting the growing need for safe, reliable, affordable, and clean power in the US.


03. Be a leader in the “New Energy Era”

Our upcoming summit will bring together policymakers, clean energy leaders, industry experts, and investors to discuss AI’s potential to enable and accelerate the clean energy transition and decarbonization.


AICES 2024 Speakers include:

We’ve convened leaders across the energy and AI technology sectors to discuss the ways AI is revolutionizing the path toward global decarbonization.
