The European Smart Grid Conference 2013, Brussels

02/09/2013

The European Smart Grid Conference 2013 will take place on 3rd October 2013 at the Renaissance Hotel, Brussels.   

Organized in partnership with the Centre for European Policy Studies (www.ceps.eu), this conference will address the following issues and questions: Has a strong and clear enough case been made so far for a European smart grid? What future social and economic benefits would the European smart grid bring? What might a market for smart grid technologies and energy tariffs look like? How will spectrum and bandwidth considerations determine the possibilities the smart grid will offer, particularly in terms of the Internet of Things and smarter homes? The conference will also assess the critical matter of standardization, and the twin issues of grid security and stability.

The European Smart Grid Conference 2013 will bring together stakeholders from the energy, telecommunications and ICT sectors - inclusive of the policy-making communities - to debate the most pertinent issues relating to the EU-wide roll out of intelligent energy networks. The successful convergence of these major infrastructure sectors will dictate the successful delivery of the European smart grid. This conference will examine what needs to be done to achieve such cross-sector collaboration.

The top corporate rate to attend this event currently stands at €150 + VAT, with lower price options available for Not-for-Profit Organizations, Government Officials, and Academics and attendance free of charge for all representatives of the EU Institutions, Permanent Representations, and members of the Press.
