Dear Colleague,
Would you like to learn how other utilities are effectively utilizing data and
applying the very latest outage restoration technologies to speed restoration
after a storm?
If so, join us at the first Storm Outage Restoration: Data Management & Technology
Application Initiative, where 20+ senior representatives from Electric Utilities
will present success stories and case studies on how they have used innovative
technologies to reduce outages and how data has been managed to increase
the speed of response. This is the only congress focusing specifically on real life
technology and data application case studies from utilities that have actively
applied AMI, DMS and SCADA data to reduce outages and increase restoration
efficiency.
Over the next decade, it will be crucial for utilities to effectively leverage technologies
and integrate these data inputs to forecast and assess damage, manage
workforces, prioritize restorations and communicate with customers throughout
major outages, whilst developing optimal cost-benefit hardening strategies that meet
regulatory appetites. With so many technologies and processes out there, the most
efficient way to assess which one to use and how to use it is hearing how others have
done it and what effect it had on restoration.
HARDENING
The trend in more extreme weather hitting the breadth of the US, such as super storm
Sandy, has also increased the pressure from regulators and customers on utilities to
develop increasingly resilient grids through hardening. Over the next 3 years, billions
of dollars will be spent on storm hardening efforts across the nation and thousands of
man-hours spent on preparing for the next super storm.
Understanding what actually goes into a hardening program, which types of
hardening to invest in and how each part provides benefits to justify the expenditure
however, is a challenge.
To address these restoration-critical challenges, we are delighted to bring you the only
Storm Outage Restoration: Data Management & Technology Application Initiative.
Please take a look through the enclosed agenda and visit

I look forward to welcoming you to Atlanta, Georgia in December.
Kind regards,

Sponsorship Opportunities
Comments From Past Attendees:Achieving Your Business And Marketing Objectives At The Summit
DEMONSTRATE THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Storm hardening and outage restorations are growing areas of technological development
and investment. You may be pioneering these advances, but do your customers know what
differentiates you from your competitors? Use targeted, editorially reviewed keynote presentations
and case studies to demonstrate thought leadership to your target audience.
RAISE BRAND AWARENESS AND INCREASE YOUR PROFILE
Any solutions selected by Electric Utilities must be subjected to careful comparative cost-benefit
analysis. Of course Vice Presidents, Directors and Managers take into account profile, credibility
and market leadership when selecting suppliers to support their investment plans. Your organisation
must be at the forefront when these decisions are made. Cement your leadership position with
targeted branding and profiling campaigns directed at the major Electric Utilities as they modernise
their grid.
MEET AND NETWORK WITH DECISION MAKERS
Thought leadership, branding and profiling are converted into contracts through extensive face-to-
face relationship building. As a dedicated event to the petrochemicals industry, this intimate forum
enables you to meet specific job titles in one place at one time, giving you the best possible chance
of influencing key decision makers.

If so, join us at the first Storm Outage Restoration: Data Management & Technology Application Initiative, where 20+ senior representatives from Electric Utilities will present success stories and case studies on how they have used innovative technologies to reduce outages and how data has been managed to increase the speed of response. This is the only congress focusing specifically on real life technology and data application case studies from utilities that have actively applied AMI, DMS and SCADA data to reduce outages and increase restoration efficiency. Over the next decade, it will be crucial for utilities to effectively leverage technologies and integrate these data inputs to forecast and assess damage, manage workforces, prioritize restorations and communicate with customers throughout major outages, whilst developing optimal cost-benefit hardening strategies that meet regulatory appetites. With so many technologies and processes out there, the most efficient way to assess which one to use and how to use it is hearing how others have done it and what effect it had on restoration. HARDENING The trend in more extreme weather hitting the breadth of the US, such as super storm Sandy, has also increased the pressure from regulators and customers on utilities to develop increasingly resilient grids through hardening. Over the next 3 years, billions of dollars will be spent on storm hardening efforts across the nation and thousands of man-hours spent on preparing for the next super storm. Understanding what actually goes into a hardening program, which types of hardening to invest in and how each part provides benefits to justify the expenditure however, is a challenge. To address these restoration-critical challenges, we are delighted to bring you the only Storm Outage Restoration: Data Management & Technology Application Initiative. Please take a look through the enclosed agenda and visit www.storm-outage-restoration-technology-2013.com for the fastest way to register: I look forward to welcoming you to Atlanta, Georgia in December.
