YPE Smart Grid Panel Series: Building a Software Business in Smart Grid

Thursday, July 17th: Smart Grid Panel Series - Building a Software Business in Smart Grid

Join YPE and industry experts for the second in a series of thought provoking smart grid panels on July 17th!

Young Professionals in Energy (YPE) Bay Area is pleased to host a panel discussion on The California grid under pressure: Building a software business in smart grid, on Thursday, July 17th. Prominent speakers from successful smart grid software companies will be on the panel -- including the CEOs of OSIsoft and Gridium and senior executives from C3 and PG&E.

This discussion will be the second in a series of four Bay Area smart grid events hosted by YPE this year. The purpose of these events is twofold: to create an opportunity for industry leaders to discuss leading-edge trends in the sometimes-amorphous smart grid space, and to build a space where people in the multidisciplinary smart grid industry can network and get to know one another.

The all-star local panel will be:

Moderator:

Mike Greene, former Junior Partner, McKinsey technology and energy practices

Panelists:

Tom Arnold, CEO, Gridium

John Davidson, Senior Product Manager, Opower

Rob Jenks, Director, Strategy, C3 Energy
