Why Attend The National Smart Grids Forum?

The Inaugural National Smart Grids Forum showcased a speaker faculty featuring 30+ senior level executives from Australia, Europe and the US. Attracting over 170 attendees the event stood out among industry as the most comprehensive event on Smart Grids in Australia.

Whilst the Smart Grids Smart City Pilot will lead the electricity industry towards establishing standards to overcome interoperability challenges in deploying smart grids, a number of questions still remain unanswered on how truly to distribute intelligence throughout the electricity network.
