EPIcenter's Summit on Electrification
The half-day Summit will feature speakers from across the country, leaders in their fields with diverse perspectives. Timely keynotes, interesting panels and “hot off line” technology vignettes make up the day. Absorb best practices, lessons learned, and, of course, advanced technologies that are moving us forward into an increasingly electrified society. Other topics include infrastructure readiness, industrial applications in practice, residential and commercial applications, smart city applications, and policy and regulation. The event is for business leaders and savvy citizens looking for a way to leverage the future.
Companies with a technology, device, software platform, or other resource that exemplifies electrification are invited to apply online for a featured spot on the Summit agenda. Just a few will be selected to explain their product in a 10-minute TED-talk-style presentation.
What is Electrification?
Clean Energy Canada offers a very clear explanation:
"The basic recipe goes like this: cut energy waste as much as possible, and clean up your electricity supply so that it's as low carbon as possible. Then use that clean electricity as your source of energy for activities that we largely power with fossil fuels today. Instead of fueling cars with gasoline, power them with clean electricity. Build super-efficient homes, and then use electric pumps to heat and cool them. Design cutting-edge industrial processes that run on renewable power. This economy-wide shift is called electrification.”
Discover how this shift affects...
...you personally,
...your business,
...your community.

Agenda
The Coming Surge of Electrification
There is so much in the news about the shift to rooftop solar, electric vehicles, cleaning up energy supplies and on and on. In the opening keynote, discover what this all means to the business leader and consumer today and how to navigate through the static.
The "Electrified" Utility
Increasing pressure is being applied to utilities to innovate and prepare for the increasing challenges of distributed power sources. They must keep the lights on and do so at a reasonable cost all the while innovating. During this discussion of high-level utility executives, gain perspective on what they are thinking about the future and how they are getting ready…and what it will mean to you.
