Welcome

Dear Colleagues, 

Now in its fifth year, Energy Central's Knowledge Executive Summit has been recognized as one of the utility industry's most valuable and prestigious forums for Chief Information Officers. In 2010, we are pleased to announce that we are expanding the scope of this event to include other mission-critical utility executives that will have to work as a team to address the serious challenges and opportunities facing the intelligent utility over the next several years and beyond. 

With mounting political and environmental pressure, increasing energy demand, and the potential for rising fuel prices, the utility industry is faced with making some costly investment decisions based on desired outcomes that will depend largely on multiple factors. As a result, the intelligent utility of the future means more than intelligent endpoints on the grid. It means the intelligent integration of the customer with IT and operations. With this in mind, we have chosen to rename this event and expand delegate participation to include not only the utility industry's top CIOs, but also their peers in Customer Service and Operations/Engineering.

Knowledge2010 — Intelligent Utility Executive Summit is a unique opportunity for top executives in IT, Operations and Customer service to gain new perspective from industry thought leaders, as well as share their knowledge in round table discussions and interactive leadership forums. Three, distinguished program committees are currently working together to create an agenda that will maximize open dialogue and information exchange between the delegates and provide an outstanding experience for all. In addition to the formal program, there will be social events and a golf outing to enhance opportunities for informal networking and information exchange.

On behalf of all of us at Energy Central, we look forward to your participation and the opportunity to share in an exciting, memorable experience that can help the intelligent utility of today, become the stronger, more efficient intelligent utility of tomorrow. 


Sincerely,

Mark Johnson
