WE3 is a global platform that extends the vision of the Summit worldwide, bringing conversations on energy, water, and emerging technologies closer to leaders everywhere. Each experience blends global perspective with local priorities, creating a stage for bold ideas, proven strategies, and visionary thinking. Designed for action, these gatherings turn dialogue into collaboration and insights into strategies that move the industry forward.

Where People and AI Unite to Transform Energy, Water, and the World

WE3 isn’t just a summit — it’s a global movement turning strategy into action across utilities and beyond. For over five years, WE3 has brought together utility CEOs, policymakers, technologists, and forward-thinkers — all united by a single mantra: Engage. Educate. Empower.

This is where human leadership meets intelligent systems.Where big challenges find real solutions.And where the future of energy and water is built — together.

WE3 is the only global event that brings together energy and utility leaders with AI experts to solve real problems — together. It’s not about buzzwords or big speeches. It’s about sharing ideas, learning from each other, and finding practical ways to use AI and human insight to improve how energy and water reach communities. If you want to be part of a community that’s making change happen — not just talking about it — WE3 is where you need to be.
