ATLANTA, GA. – June 4, 2019 – Under a theme of “Energy Reimagined,” Landis+Gyr (LAND.SW) is bringing together energy industry professionals from across the Americas to discuss the latest innovations in grid-edge technology and applications at Exchange 2019.
The company is hosting 650 attendees representing more than 180 utilities and industry organizations this week at the Diplomat Resort in Hollywood, FL as part of the Exchange annual user conference.
Luke Williams, Professor of Innovation and Design at NYU Stern School of Business, delivered the event’s keynote address on the topic of how disruptive thinking drives innovation. Kerri Stewart, the Chief Customer Officer at JEA, provided opening remarks on the changes to utility business models and how they impact consumer engagement and energy management for the Jacksonville, FL utility.
“Exchange has always been about learning from experience, as utilities across the globe present the many ways technology is changing the nature of energy delivery,” said Prasanna Venkatesan, Executive Vice President of the Americas Region at Landis+Gyr. “This year we’re anticipating a lot of discussion about new business models, electrification and clean energy, and the future of smart sensing devices.”
