WGLC Celebrates 20 years

Published

on

HOUSTON, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Gulf Energy Information (Gulf) is proud to host the 20th annual Women’s Global Leadership Conference in Energy (WGLC), taking place November 19-20, 2024, at the Marriott Marquis, Houston, Texas.

For 20 years, WGLC has been the largest women’s event in the energy industry. Through insightful dialogue, professional development opportunities, and expansive networking, we foster a community where women and their allies thrive, driving innovation and progress in the energy sector.

“Marking the 20th anniversary of WGLC—something we could not have imagined when we first launched the conference—is testament to the value of camaraderie and collaboration among the growing population of women leaders in the energy industry,” noted Alexandra “Alie” Pruner, founder of the conference, Senior Advisor to investment bank TPH&Co. and board member for a number of energy companies. “Literally thousands of women take part in this gathering each year, a marked increase from the 100 or so folks who attended our first year. Thank you to Gulf Energy Information and its sponsors for making this a global endeavor and continuing to cultivate this vital community in our industry.”

WGLC envisions a future where the energy industry is defined by its diverse leadership, where women from all backgrounds have equal opportunities for advancement and impact. By cultivating a supportive environment that celebrates and amplifies diverse voices, catalyzing the growth of a dynamic and inclusive energy landscape, shaping a sustainable future for generations to come.

John Royall, President and CEO, Gulf Energy Information: “For 15 years, I have had the privilege to work with Gulf’s outstanding events team to produce the most important women’s event in the global oil and gas industry. Over the last 10 years, Melissa Smith has produced the event, and has grown it to a level of unparalleled industry significance. By emphasizing professional development and compelling industry issues, as well as producing excellent networking throughout, WGLC has become a must-attend for women in the industry. This 20th anniversary WGLC will be the best yet, and will provide attendees with outstanding professional development content, as well as the best networking you’ll find in the oil and gas business.”

WGLC’s high-quality speakers, excellent networking opportunities and unique mix of industry topics and personal/professional development topics provide attendees with actionable insights and tactics to enhance their and their teams’ progression. McKinsey’s tenth Women in the Workplace report, launched in September 2024, showed that women continue to lose the most ground in middle management and through programs such as WGLC, businesses can furnish their personnel with key skills to support both recruitment and workplace retention through sponsorship and delegate attendance.

bp returns to WGLC 2024 as the exclusive diamond sponsor. Several bp leaders will speak at WGLC this year, and more than 100 bp employees attended last year’s WGLC in Houston.

Ayana McIntosh-Lee, Senior Vice President Engagement – People & Culture, bp, said “bp is committed to nurturing diverse talent and providing equal opportunities. Through mentorship programs, leadership development and inclusive feedback mechanisms, bp aims to empower employees from all backgrounds to reach their full potential.”

Gulf is thankful to the advisory board, event sponsors and supporting partners who work tirelessly to ensure this event is successful year after year. The full list of sponsors as well as the agenda and speaker list may be viewed online at https://wglconference.com/.

DataLogix AI Launches Workplace Video Resources for Businesses Exploring AI and Robotics Training

Published

New calculator, business owner guide and inquiry form help companies assess workplace video alongside existing business records.

UNION, N.J., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DataLogix AI, a division of Trailblaze Solutions LLC, has launched online resources to help business owners explore first-person workplace video for AI and robotics training. The new resources include a workplace-video overview, an adjustable revenue calculator, a business owner guide and an inquiry form for discussing potential fit.

The launch adds a second starting point alongside DataLogix AI’s existing focus on licensing business records. Owners can compare written operating history, such as internal email, chat, tickets and project records, with newly recorded footage showing the hands, tools and steps involved in approved physical tasks. Businesses with both types of activity can explore each separately.

The workplace-video resources describe possible tasks in areas including warehousing, maintenance, construction, production and vehicle service. These examples are discussion starting points, not confirmed eligible categories. The guidance asks owners to review participant consent, recording permissions, safety, equipment and footage acceptance criteria before beginning.

The calculator models a four-week scenario using the number of participating workers, accepted recording hours per worker and an assumed payment rate. Owners can optionally enter employee compensation and other business costs. All figures are illustrative. The calculator does not establish an offered rate, forecast earnings or determine eligibility, and a result after entered deductions is not net profit.

The accompanying guide explains how the two opportunities differ in preparation, rights and economics. It includes questions about who may approve participation, what can be recorded or licensed, who may receive the material and how payment would be determined. Owners can review the resources without uploading company records or workplace footage.

Businesses interested in learning more can use the inquiry form to describe their company and the opportunity they would like to discuss. An inquiry is not enrollment, recording permission or a payment offer. Program availability, equipment and commercial terms require separate confirmation, and payment may be zero.

Society of Women Engineers event introduced young people to science, technology and potential careers in engineering

BOSTON, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For young people curious about how things work, Boston’s Seaport District became a place of discovery Saturday as students explored the possibilities of engineering through interactive demonstrations, hands-on activities and conversations with professionals from around the world.

The SWENext Innovation Expo, hosted by the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), brought science, technology, engineering and mathematics out of the classroom and into the Westin Boston Seaport District, where students ages 5 to 18 had the opportunity to explore STEM fields in an engaging, accessible environment.

The free, half-day event was part of WE26, the Society of Women Engineers’ annual international conference, held November 5–7 in Boston.

The Expo was designed to introduce younger students to engineering through hands-on demonstrations and activities while providing teenagers with opportunities to explore educational pathways and potential careers in STEM.

For elementary school students, the focus was on experimentation, problem-solving and discovery. Interactive activities encouraged children to explore engineering concepts while demonstrating how science and technology influence everyday life.

Older students had opportunities to connect with professional engineers, SWE members and representatives of collegiate engineering programs. Those conversations introduced students to engineering degree programs, scholarships, tutoring resources and career possibilities they might not otherwise have considered.

The event also offered parents, teachers and other STEM advocates information about educational resources, classroom activities and programs designed to help young people continue exploring science and engineering beyond the Expo.

Although the Society of Women Engineers has long focused on advancing women in engineering and technology, the Innovation Expo welcomed students of all genders, reflecting the organization’s broader commitment to expanding access to STEM education.

The event highlighted the importance of introducing students to engineering at an early age, before they begin making decisions about college majors and career paths. By connecting young people with working engineers and college students, the Expo was designed to make engineering more approachable and demonstrate the variety of opportunities available in technical fields.

The Boston event also provided an opportunity for engineering professionals attending WE26 to engage directly with the local community and share their experiences with students who may represent the next generation of innovators.

For the Society of Women Engineers, the Expo was an extension of its mission to inspire and support future engineers while expanding awareness of the profession.

And for the young people who participated, the event offered an introduction to a field where curiosity, creativity and problem-solving can lead to discoveries that shape the future.

CORAL GABLES, Fla., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NatGold Digital Ltd. (“NatGold” or the “Company”) today announced that it has requested the delisting of the NatGold Token (NATG) from MEXC, a global cryptocurrency exchange where NATG is currently listed, with immediate effect.

The decision follows the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s announcement of an order issued by its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act, prohibiting U.S. financial institutions from processing funds transfers involving MEXC Global.

NatGold is a U.S. company whose wholly owned subsidiary, NatGold Integrity Vault LLC, is registered with FinCEN as a money services business. The Company is acting ahead of the order’s effective date.

“As a U.S. company operating through a FinCEN-registered money services business, we are acting immediately in response to Treasury’s decision,” said Mark Radke, Executive Chairman of NatGold Digital. “Trust is a cornerstone of NatGold’s operating structure, and responding promptly to this regulatory action reflects that commitment.”

NatGold is in advanced discussions with multiple regulatory-compliant exchanges and venues  serving global markets, including the United States, and intends to replace MEXC as soon as possible. Once new listings are confirmed, NATG token holders will be advised of the arrangements and encouraged to register accounts and link their wallets, as applicable, to continue trading.
