6th National Conference on Next Generation Demand Response

Following five successful editions of ACI’s National Conference on Next Generation Demand Response, this year’s event will be taking place in Boston, Massachusetts on 12-13th June 2019.

The conference will once again bring together senior executives and experts from utility companies, technology providers, energy professionals and leading service providers. We will discuss the latest challenges and developments making an impact on the industry. Some of the essential topics this year include battery storage with solar, microgrids, smart devices and customer satisfaction.

This new edition will most importantly focus on Residential Demand Response, Storage + Solar, DER implementation and Capacity Markets. The conference will therefore provide case studies, presentations & interactive panel discussions with all the attendees. The participants will also have the chance to discuss innovations in the industry during the various Q&As; and networking breaks.
