Consider this: What if the grid could speak to us? What would it say? What if we could regularly converse with the grid about what’s happening right now and what should happen? 

Today, we are focused on modernizing the grid and integrating smart technology to ensure its overall integrity, with a focus on reliability and resiliency. As an industry, we are adopting a host of new technologies to provide solutions for new capabilities. But have we stopped to consider whether we are asking the right questions to inform and guide a vision for the grid's future? 

Join us in a conversation to explore this topic and how it inspires a different perspective on grid modernization. Along the way, we will share technologies and solutions, including AI, sensors, and edge computing, that help realize the grid's future evolution and modernization. This session will benefit roles across all levels of grid planning, building operation, and maintenance.
