Talk about AI is everywhere, but there’s a major gap between its long-term potential to reshape our future with actual applications that are delivering value today. To close this gap, pioneering utilities are partnering with experts at organizations like the Argonne National Laboratory to prove the real-world value of smart grid planning. Together, they’re deploying advanced AI to tackle critical challenges of all types, from predicting extreme weather to clearing backlogged interconnection queues.

Join leaders from across the space as they highlight what it’s meant to change expectations on every side of the conversation. What’s possible when you can leverage a highly accurate 90-day predictive weather model rather than a traditional 7-to-14-day outlook? How is utility-grade AI changing grid modeling to better enable resilience? A panel of experts will answer these questions while outlining:

• How utilities are actively deploying AI for precise weather modeling, new flood projections, and improved interconnection studies
• What it means to most effectively use existing high-resolution models
• The boundaries around what AI is not currently being utilized to do (such as long-range climate modeling)
• The tangible, day-to-day shifts that occur across power systems when predictive windows expand

Attendees will walk away from the conversation with a practical roadmap to transform AI from an ambiguous concept into a high-impact tool that elevates planning and processes at every level. You’ll leave with a powerful new framework for the questions you should be asking of your technology, your data, and your teams.
