Smart Grid Forums Event Format Phoenix Forums is now Smart Grid Forums. We produce content-rich, implementation-focused, end-user driven conferences for the smart grid technical community. Each of our conferences draws together 100-250 of the most pioneering, forward looking and motivated smart grid technical professionals for an intensive programme of implementation case-study reviews and new technology assessments.

These are peer-to-peer exchanges and they are immersive, exhaustive, and outcomes focused. Over three intensive days you will hear about the implementation experiences, lessons learnt, and future roadmaps of 14-20 leading utilities, providing you with deep insights that enable you to take your product development, market messaging, and end-user relationship building to the next level.

By sharing your technology innovation plans and inviting end-user feedback at these conferences, you get the opportunity to stress-test your approach and ensure ongoing commercial success. Through a range of facilitated networking opportunities you get to create new connections with a highly motivated group of end-user implementation leaders, all of whom are tasked with new technology scouting and product specifying for their smart utility organisations. Our participant mix is typically 50-70% utilities, with system suppliers, component suppliers, systems integrators, and testing services making up the balance.

Our event format includes:

✓ Case-study programmes – drawing on the insights, lessons learnt and future roadmaps of pioneering utilities all of whom are charged with technology scouting and project specifying

✓ End-user driven speaker line-ups – selected on the strength of the projects they are involved in, their pivotal roles in implementation decision making as well as the results they have achieved

✓ Technology innovation panels – providing you with the opportunity to present your tech innovations and have end-users stress test and influence your product development to ensure maximum commercial success

✓ Roundtable discussions – enabling intimate discussions on a 1:1 basis and in small groups, a great opportunity to get under the skin of end users’ real-life challenges and share your expertise in an informal setting

✓ Solution zone – this focused display of the latest solutions is capped to maximise visibility and footfall for each exhibitor, and provide a seamless touchpoint between you and the participants across all 3 days of the conference

✓ Live demo labs – held in a private meeting room, this series of 1:1 meetings is pre-arranged by us with the participants of your choice, allowing you to get under the skin of end-user needs with ease

✓ Networking evening reception – open to all participants, this ice-breaking evening allows you to get to know participants on an informal level, deepen your existing relationships and establish brand new contacts
