The business case for smart lighting is clear with cities deriving significant cost and energy savings by upgrading to LEDs with controls. However, building the business case beyond lighting looks different for every community. Learn how cities and utilities of all sizes are exploring ways to address problems such as congested roadways, aggressive carbon reduction mandates, high energy costs, and lack of visibility and control across city infrastructure. Many cities and utilities are adopting IoT sensors and solutions that can effectively address these problems by expanding on smart lighting network platforms, giving them a head start in this digital transformation. Join this session to hear insights and strategies cities are using today to enable the realization of a smarter, more connected, and sustainable future.

The future of the smart grid depends heavily on engagement from consumers. As the utility has an increased need to understand and respond to impacts on the grid in real time, utilities must better design programs that take into consideration the needs of consumers in unprecedented ways. In addition, the utilities must engage customers in more meaningful ways and meet them where they are. Join industry experts in customer experience as they paint a vision of what this future looks like through the adoption of new grid edge applications.
