Knowledge-Driven Efficiency in the Energy Transition
Celebrating 27 years of PPDM workshops in Perth, bringing together energy professionals
from across the Asia Pacific region.
It's 2026. The "big crew change" has reshaped the energy industry, artificial intelligence has become part
of everyday operations, and organizations are embracing new technologies to improve efficiency and
decision-making. As the energy transition accelerates, success depends not only on innovation but also on
how effectively we capture, share, and apply knowledge across the industry.
Hosted by the Australian Branch of the PPDM Association in Perth, this year's workshop will explore how
better data, stronger knowledge management, and greater collaboration can unlock new opportunities across
the energy sector.
The event brings together professionals from across the energy ecosystem to exchange ideas, share practical
experiences, and build valuable professional connections. Whether you're developing digital solutions,
managing energy assets, or supporting the next generation of energy systems, your experience and insights
will contribute to meaningful discussions.
Join us to learn from industry leaders, collaborate with peers, and help ensure the knowledge developed over
decades continues to power the future of energy.
