Smarter AI Smarter Energy: Unlocking
the Digital Transformation in APAC
AI for Energy Transition APAC 2026 (#AIETA2026) takes place on 7–8 July 2026 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC), convening 500+ senior leaders from the energy, AI, cloud, data centre, digital infrastructure and policy communities to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of energy systems across Asia-Pacific.
As the rapid expansion of AI and data centres drives unprecedented electricity demand, the summit will address the critical question: how AI creates new growth opportunities, drives sustainable value, and shapes organisational and governance strategies in the energy sector.
The programme spans the full AI–energy value chain, covering power markets and energy security, data-centre energy integration, grid forecasting and resilience, project optimisation, digital twins for asset performance, and trusted AI deployment.
Co-located with Australia Wind Energy 2026, Carbon Capture APAC Summit 2026 and SAF APAC Summit 2026, #AIETA2026 creates a unique platform for cross-sector collaboration between energy, digital infrastructure and technology leaders, accelerating a smarter, more resilient and low-carbon energy future across APAC.
