Three days where the energy, automation, and process engineering leaders running the world's most demanding facilities come together — to share what's working, debate what's next, and chart what comes after.
Working sessions with the operators, engineers, and leaders running today's most demanding facilities. Get into specifics, swap approaches, and leave with ideas you can act on Monday morning.
Skip the surface networking. Curated dinners, peer roundtables, and unstructured time with the people running cold storage, processing, packaging, and beyond.
See where industrial controls are headed, weigh in on the priorities that matter to facilities like yours, and help shape what comes next for the platforms running heavy industry.
Operators from the frontlines, engineers from the trenches, and leaders reshaping how heavy industry works. More to be announced through Q3.
Two and a half days, beachfront. A tight program of keynotes, industry stories, hands-on workshops and product sessions — bracketed by the parties that make the rest of it stick.
Get hands-on with agentic AI and explore how it can be applied across industrial operations and teams. Participants will test practical use cases, learn how to evaluate AI architecture and accuracy, and identify the right questions to ask technology vendors. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of how AI works—and a practical framework for applying it responsibly within your organization.
The Summit opens beachfront at the Hilton. Drinks, light bites, and a soft landing into three days of conversation.
Every process engineer has a list of changes they would make if they knew it would not cost them a batch, a shift, or a customer audit. Operators from food processing and adjacent process industries share how they turned those opportunities into running systems—where yield and throughput gains came from, what they chose not to automate, and how they built enough confidence to close the loop.
Cold storage operators who have put energy strategy under software control talk about what actually happened: what they changed first, what it saved, who inside their organization pushed back, and what they realized when they went from one site to ten. Includes an energy market partner on what the grid is paying for that most businesses don't realize is available to them.
Yield, throughput, and the opportunity nobody was looking for. Full description coming soon.
Most pilots do not stall because the technology fails. Two operators at different points in the journey—one still evaluating a pilot and one deep into a portfolio rollout—share what builds confidence, what slows decisions, and what ultimately turns a promising test into a scalable program. CrossnoKaye will also share patterns from across the pilots it has supported.
Wind down with drinks on the oceanfront terrace, then sit down to a long-table dinner with the people who run the industry alongside you.
Most industrial AI is described. This session is about what happened when three facilities actually ran it. Three customers on what they used AURA for day to day — troubleshooting, energy and cost decisions, keeping teams informed — what they debated, what it got wrong early, and what changed. CrossnoKaye closes with where it goes next, and what it has been deliberately built not to do.
Sunset over the Pacific. The last toast. The conversations that always seem to start right as we leave.
Six things you'll walk away with after the Summit — not slides, but working approaches and real relationships.
Two minutes of last year's three days — keynotes, breakouts, the late-night corridor conversations. Plus three featured talks worth your time.
Voices from the 2025 Summit — operators and leaders reflecting on what they took home.
When I look at where we've come from in just the last couple years and what we saw this year at the summit, I'm just shocked at how quickly it's progressing, how quickly it's changing, and I'm excited.
Everybody's catching this revolution of sustainability, of energy efficiency, of operational efficiency. It's like we're marching down the street and people are coming out of their houses to march with us in this pursuit of greatness.
Three days on the Pacific, steps from the sand. The Hilton Beachfront pairs the easy pace of the California coast with the room you need for a working summit — ocean-view sessions by day, sunset receptions by night, and a discounted room block to make staying simple.
