•LEARN HOW TO LEVERAGE OUTAGE RESTORATION TECHNOLOGY:

Integrate data inputs from AMI, SCADA and DMS to rapidly locate outages

•OPTIMIZE STORM HARDENING: Benchmarking costs against benefits and

justifying your business cases to the regulator

•DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS: Evaluate the analytical models and collection

and visualization tools available to conduct quick and accurate damage

assessments and forecast damage before a storm

•MANAGE DATA: Integrate vast data inflows to gain system visibility, prioritize

restorations and dispatch work packages for repair crews

•CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION: Share best practices during major outages

and experiences of tools including online maps and social media

•WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT: Develop plans to effectively manage an army

of crews and resources and fully utilize mutual assistance groups

1 This is the only congress focussing on in-depth analysis on the leveraging of

technology and management of data

inputs to facilitate rapid restorations

2 Agenda is led and presented by 20+ senior decision makers from utilities

with very minor, yet highly relevant, vendor

contributions, covering in-depth details of

real experiences

3 Presenters will quantify the business case for storm hardening processes,

learning from utilities on their cost-benefit

analyses and with a focus on predicting and

responding to regulator appetites

4 Prioritization best practices across the spectrum of outage management will be

addressed, from workforce deployment to

customer communication

5 The agenda is formed only of today’s need-to-know issues following

extensive research with the industry and

speakers selected based on expertise, with

no call for papers

Dear Colleague,

Would you like to learn how other utilities are effectively utilizing data and applying the very latest outage restoration technologies to speed restoration after a storm?

If so, join us at the first Storm Outage Restoration: Data Management & Technology Application Initiative, where 20+ senior representatives from Electric Utilities will present success stories and case studies on how they have used innovative technologies to reduce outages and how data has been managed to increase the speed of response. This is the only congress focusing specifically on real life technology and data application case studies from utilities that have actively applied AMI, DMS and SCADA data to reduce outages and increase restoration efficiency.

Over the next decade, it will be crucial for utilities to effectively leverage technologies and integrate these data inputs to forecast and assess damage, manage workforces, prioritize restorations and communicate with customers throughout major outages, whilst developing optimal cost-benefit hardening strategies that meet regulatory appetites. With so many technologies and processes out there, the most efficient way to assess which one to use and how to use it is hearing how others have done it and what effect it had on restoration.

HARDENING

The trend in more extreme weather hitting the breadth of the US, such as super storm Sandy, has also increased the pressure from regulators and customers on utilities to develop increasingly resilient grids through hardening. Over the next 3 years, billions of dollars will be spent on storm hardening efforts across the nation and thousands of man-hours spent on preparing for the next super storm.

Understanding what actually goes into a hardening program, which types of hardening to invest in and how each part provides benefits to justify the expenditure however, is a challenge.

To address these restoration-critical challenges, we are delighted to bring you the only Storm Outage Restoration: Data Management & Technology Application Initiative.

Please take a look through the enclosed agenda and visit www.storm-outage-restoration-technology-2013.com for the fastest way to register:

I look forward to welcoming you to Atlanta, Georgia in December.

Kind regards,

ABC Electric Utility Innovation Team

The Storm Outage Restoration: Data Management & Technology Application Initiative offers a unique platform for highly relevant suppliers to deliver thought leadership messages, raise awareness and network with industry leaders who are investing in storm hardening and preparing for restoration of the next major outage.

SPOnSORSHIP OPPORTUnITIES

Comments From Past Attendees:Achieving Your Business And Marketing Objectives At The Summit

DEMONSTRATE THOUGHT LEADERSHIPStorm hardening and outage restorations are growing areas of technological development and investment. You may be pioneering these advances, but do your customers know what differentiates you from your competitors? Use targeted, editorially reviewed keynote presentations and case studies to demonstrate thought leadership to your target audience.

RAISE BRAND AWARENESS AND INCREASE YOUR PROFILEAny solutions selected by Electric Utilities must be subjected to careful comparative cost-benefit analysis. Of course Vice Presidents, Directors and Managers take into account profile, credibility and market leadership when selecting suppliers to support their investment plans. Your organisation must be at the forefront when these decisions are made. Cement your leadership position with targeted branding and profiling campaigns directed at the major Electric Utilities as they modernise their grid.

MEET AND NETWORK WITH DECISION MAKERSThought leadership, branding and profiling are converted into contracts through extensive face-to-face relationship building. As a dedicated event to the petrochemicals industry, this intimate forum enables you to meet specific job titles in one place at one time, giving you the best possible chance of influencing key decision makers.
