The premier gathering for energy leaders and technology innovators to redefine the future of the Latin American oil and gas industry.
As the region enters a new era of production, led by the historic shale boom in Argentina’s Vaca Muerta and massive offshore developments in Brazil and Guyana, the shift from traditional operations to data-driven intelligence is no longer optional.
Our forum brings together senior executives, data scientists, and field engineers to bridge the gap between heavy industry and cutting-edge digital tools. From predictive maintenance in the Neuquén Basin to autonomous offshore platforms and AI-driven emissions monitoring, we provide a platform to showcase the real-world applications of Industry 4.0.
Day 1 focuses on Argentina and Vaca Muerta execution: AI drilling, data readiness, production optimization, control rooms, maintenance, logistics and peer roundtables.
Day 2 focuses on regional expansion and enabling infrastructure: Colombia offshore gas, Brazil offshore and pre-salt technology, digital twins, OT cyber, policy, and what Latin America can realistically scale.
PROFESSIONALS FROM THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES HAVE ALREADY CONFIRMED THEIR ATTENDANCE:

Every operator in Vaca Muerta is building AI. Few initiatives will scale. The gap isn't technology — it's the operating model above it. This session brings the C-suite playbook that turns POCs into P&L.

MoreFirst and foremost a dedicated father (to Otavio and Davi, as well as Ziggy – the one who barks =]), I work around barriers and speak the language of data, analytics and AI.
As Accenture's Latin America Data&AI Market Unit Lead, spanning Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile and Mexico I connect, develop, grow and learn from our 3,000 talents on our mission to fulfill the promise of technology with human ingenuity, creating more value for our clients, people, shareholders, partners and communities in the region.
I am the catalyst of a very strong group of Data Architects, Data Engineers, Cloud Integration Architects, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Engineers and highly Data&AI talented persons from around Latin America, that generate 360o value for all our stakeholders applying their deep skills in the process of turning data onto actionable insights in clients from several industries, from Communications to Agribusiness, from Financial Services to Natural Resources, in a P&L that is reaching "Unicorn-level".
LessMany AI projects fail because the underlying data, automation and workflows are not ready. This session examines how operators can strengthen instrumentation, SCADA, historians, data standards and legacy-field architecture before scaling AI.

MoreMariano Chicatun is CEO and co-founder of Pilot X (pilot-solutions.ai), an industrial AI and machine learning company operating across Argentina and Uruguay. Pilot X works with clients in oil & gas, steel, and healthcare, focusing on what Mariano calls "the last decisional mile": the gap between data and the decisions made on the plant floor, in the field, and in the control room.
He is also CTO at Chirone.ai, a voice-first platform that captures and structures operational knowledge from industrial workers, and serves as AI Strategist at Hospital Británico de Uruguay, where he leads the Hospital's AI transformation program as a consultant. This cross-industry experience shapes his pragmatic view of how AI actually gets adopted in complex, high-stakes environments.
Mariano holds a Master's in Big Data and tutors thesis students at ORT Uruguay. Originally from Neuquén, Argentina, he is based in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
