Microgrid 2018 Call for Presentations

“Microgrid 2018: Creating Markets & Models for the Greater Good” will focus on launching the microgrid industry to the next level. We will gather together top industry leaders to identify, strengthen and best leverage drivers to both quicken and broaden microgrid adoption.

Please keep in mind that our agenda will be highly interactive, so preference will go to presentations likely to inspire questions and discussions.
