It’s time for an update. Vacations and a flurry of event activity has gobbled up most of my time recently. And that’s a good thing! Further pricing discussion will wait another few days while I write about the launch of a new idea that’s been hatching over the past few months.
This is a top-notch event. This year I was lucky enough to be involved in the mechanics of a new extension of the event itself – a new, utility-centric collaboration and social networking community. The event’s theme was “Collaboration Fuels Innovation”. More specifically – cross-company collaboration. Nobody has to reinvent the wheel or solve the same problem twice if they work on common problems.
The event itself draws a very high level audience. At the event itself, CxO’s, chief architects, and anyone involved in creating the next generation (pun intended) utility company all rub shoulders and share stories.
Utility companies (generation, transmission and distribution, retailers, and operators of all types) show up to talk about their plans for working with new demands in the marketplace as well as any new governmental mandates.
Our objective was to keep those conversations going beyond the event. So, we created the UtilityCollaboration community. The idea was first envisioned by the event organizer, Eventure Events. I just helped figure out how to do it with them.
