Smart Grid Focus

No other conference offers a sharper focus, more comprehensive information or a more diverse set of technologies focused squarely on Smart Grid Initiatives. What's more, you'll appreciate the opportunity to learn and network with your peers in comfortable, intimate surroundings without the hassles of big conference logistics. Conveniently located in downtown Baltimore, the conference hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of restaurants, shopping and other points of interest without the need to rent a car. And, your registration fee includes a continental breakfast and full lunch for both days plus a complimentary networking reception on Tuesday evening.

AMI/MDM^* Co-located Bonus Event

The Smart Grid RoadShow closes on Wednesday afternoon, but the value doesn't end there. By staying for UtiliPoint® International's AMI/MDM Fall 2009 Workshop on Thursday, you'll not only get a $100 discount on your SGRS Conference registration, but you'll also enjoy a full day of Advanced Metering Infrastructure & Meter Data Management technologies, applications, best practices, and more! This immersive workshop -- now in its third year -- has become a mecca for AMI/MDM professionals, so come and learn from the folks leading the charge when it comes to AMI/MDM initiatives.

* In order to better accommodate as many Smart Grid RoadShow and AMI/MDM Workshop attendees as possible, the AMI/MDM event has been moved to the Hyatt Hotel -- only a short distance from the Inner Harbor Marriott, where the SGRS is being held. Both hotels have reserved a block of rooms for their respective events, so be sure to mention “Smart Grid RoadShow” for the special Marriott rate and “AMI/MDM Workshop” for the special Hyatt rate. Also, it is strongly recommended that you make your reservations as early as possible since we expect these discounted rooms to sell out quickly. The Hyatt is about seven blocks from the Marriott along Baltimore's scenic Inner Harbor -- a short walk or quick cab ride, depending on weather conditions and personal preferences. Also, the discounted SGRS registration fee for AMI/MDM Workshop attendees still applies and must be noted on your SGRS registration form.

We look forward to seeing you in Baltimore!
