Conference Founders

The Energy HPC & AI Conference traces its roots back to 2008, when it was first launched as the Rice Oil and Gas HPC Workshop. Spearheaded by six visionary founders from both industry and academia, what began as a modest gathering of forward-thinking minds has since evolved into a premier event that draws over 500 participants annually. The conference has grown over the past 19 years and has recently been renamed the "Energy HPC & AI Conference", reflecting innovation in AI and high-performance computing across the energy sector.
