Choosing a Speaker

Researcher, futurist, or {operator} — who should you book?

The researcher

Explains how the models work

Fascinating for a technical audience — but your examiners don't grade you on transformer architecture.

The futurist

Paints 2035

Inspiring for an evening — and useless for the budget decision your board makes next quarter.

The operator · Alex

Shows your leaders what to do in Q3

Inside real procurement, risk, and compliance constraints — because he has shipped transformation inside the rules.

Where {AI in the Energy Sector} Earns Its Keep First

Most utilities are past the pilot stage. 81% of North American utilities already use AI — so the real question in the room is no longer whether to start. It's why so many deployments never make it past one control room, one region, one team.

Alex Goryachev works that question from the operator's side: which agentic workflows survive contact with a regulated, safety-critical environment, and which quietly stall. He also takes on the question energy audiences ask that no other industry does — AI's own power demand, and what a defensible compute strategy looks like when you're the one selling the electricity.

Just few ways AI is disrupting Sustainability and Energy:

81%

81% of North American utilities already use AI, based on a survey of 500 electric utility executives across the U.S. and Canada.

61%

61% of utility leaders say a shortage of AI talent — not technology — is what will hold their deployment plans back.

945 TWh

Data centre electricity use is projected to roughly double to about 945 TWh by 2030, just under 3% of global consumption.

{ESG AI} Turns Disclosure Burden Into Decision Intelligence

Sustainability teams spend the year assembling: emissions inventories, supplier disclosures, framework-by-framework reporting. Agents can do the assembling. Your experts should be doing the deciding — scenario analysis, capital allocation for the transition, and targets you can defend to a regulator.

Alex pairs that opportunity with the governance most vendors skip: auditable data lineage, and a named human accountable for every number you publish. He shapes ISO standards on innovation and advises the California State University system on AI and AI governance — with zero vendor conflicts and zero platform to sell.

Where agentic AI creates operational advantage in energy and sustainability — with engineers keeping the sign-off:

Workflow	Agent action	Human checkpoint	What changes
Asset monitoring and predictive maintenance	Watches sensor data around the clock, runs the maintenance workflow, orders parts, and schedules crews	Operations engineer approves every work order	Unplanned outages become planned work
Field work packages	Assembles permits, procedures, and asset history into complete job packets	Supervisor signs off on job safety and readiness	Crews arrive ready instead of chasing fragmented tickets
Trading and scheduling support	Monitors markets and weather; drafts bids and schedules	Trader owns every position and commitment	Desks extend coverage without extending the day
Emissions and ESG reporting	Assembles emissions inventories, supplier disclosures, and framework-specific reports with documented data lineage	Sustainability lead certifies everything reported	Experts spend their time deciding, not assembling
Regulatory and interconnection filings	Compiles studies and drafts filings with supporting documentation	Regulatory affairs signs every submission	Paperwork stops being the long pole in the project

That table is where the operational advantage actually sits — monitoring, maintenance, the field, the desk, the filing cabinet. Here is what energy and sustainability leaders leave the room with.

What Energy and Sustainability Audiences Leave With

A map of where agents create measurable operational advantage first — monitoring, maintenance, field enablement, trading support
A path from ESG reporting burden to decision intelligence, with auditable data lineage
A defensible answer on AI's own energy footprint and what responsible compute strategy looks like for an energy company
Governance informed by Alex's work shaping ISO standards on innovation
A way to turn regulatory and interconnection filings from the long pole into a routine workflow
A plan for keeping engineers signing off on every work order as agent leverage scales
