The ItsYourSmartGrid
blog provides a venue for
information and idea sharing...

...on the environmental, societal, political and economic implications of a smarter grid.

More than 130 speakers will lead discussions on topics ranging from influencing smart grid policy to building the smart grid business of the future. In fact, the event will be kicked off by Energy Secretary Steven Chu, with a closing keynote from Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.
