Event Details:

The electric grid is changing fast. Rising demand, more renewable energy and increasing climate-driven disruptions are forcing utilities to rethink how the grid is built and operated. Technologies like AI, advanced analytics and Digital Twins are opening the door to smarter, more resilient and more adaptive operations.

Join us at Grid Forward 2025, as we engage with utility leaders, AI innovators and policymakers to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping every layer of the power system. Our team will share real-world examples of how utilities are utilizing AI, Digital Twins and advanced data to optimize grid performance, prevent outages and accelerate the transition to cleaner energy.
