Why you should attend

“The attraction of this event to HP is that it is focussed on the
network providers and DNO’s. So many conferences focus on suppliers and
there is little done for the DNOs. It will make a refreshing change to
hear about the smart grid from the DNO’s point of view; an area where we
can probably make the most gains as an industry to impact Security of
Supply."

Ian Mitton, World Wide Utilities Director, Hewlett Packard
