In a visionary and imaginative keynote, Swapna Setty, Director of Enterprise Data Management at Oxy, explored how data—when well-governed and strategically managed—becomes the hidden engine powering digital performance. Drawing a compelling parallel to the virtual universe of Ready Player One, Setty illustrated how immersive, interconnected digital environments are no longer science fiction but the operational frontier for modern energy companies.
The session emphasised that the real value of digital twins, AI, and high-performance computing lies beneath the surface—in trusted, well-structured data ecosystems. Swapna Setty highlighted the importance of data strategy, ownership, quality, automation, and cultural adoption, urging organisations to elevate data from a supporting role to a core strategic asset.
With clear insights into how companies can evolve their data maturity and unlock the full potential of digital transformation, this keynote inspired attendees to reframe data not as infrastructure—but as innovation.
