2009 has been an adaptive year for power companies. As the weak US economy and strengthening environmental pressures mounted - a barrage of critical issues have taken an industry that is normally known as conservative - and pushed it into the limelight of change.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has allocated a groundbreaking $11 billion towards SmartGrid funding alone until 2010 and utilities are all bumping shoulders for a piece of the pie. How will this money be used? What programs will be updated, maintained and/or dropped altogether? How will customers be informed of new energy programs and changes? Most importantly, what synergies can be applied from current processes and technologies available?

EUCI presents, The Future of Smart Grid DSM Programs to address these challenges head-on with sessions dedicated to Demand Response (DR), Energy Efficiency (EE), public relations and outreach, consumer engagement technologies, and program pricing.

This is a must-attend event for power companies needing to benchmark their conservation programs and technologies towards the new smarter energy grid.

The Early Bird price for this conference is USD $1,195.00. After November 30, 2009 the price will be USD $1,395.00.
