Thanks to all the individuals who attended our extreme weather and grid resiliency event at the American Public Power Association headquarters in Crystal City on August 20th. We had a great turnout and there was much interest in the topics presented by our panel. Photo highlights of the event are provided below. Click
here to see the thoughtful and informative article by Kerry Worthington, Leaders in Energy team member, who reported on the event.
Wondering what makes a "smart city" and why cities are interested in achieving this designation? Our next professional networking event will be on "Building a Smart City: Global and DC Metro Area Perspectives." Panelists will include representatives from the Dutch Embassy, the General Services Administration, Montgomery County, and more. We will explore what the attributes are which make Amsterdam the smartest city in the Netherlands, and we will discuss how local cities and counties in the Washington, DC metropolitan area are raising their game as they strive to become the next smart city.
Pizza and beer (and non-alcoholic beverages) will be provided.
