Huntington Beach, CA (USA), July 10, 2017:The tenth annual SAP for Utilities conference will focus on how utilities can embrace and conquer disruption by leveraging digital innovations, data-driven insights and best practices from within utilities and adjacent industries.
Eventful Conferences, producers of SAP for Utilities, conducted extensive research to uncover the utility industry’s common challenges and opportunities for the next 12 months. Focus groups with over 60 utility organizations across North America unveiled the most important area of focus as digital disruption. With this theme in mind, the 2017 conference has been thoughtfully focused on Looking Within & Beyond the Industry to Redefine the Utility.
“Digital disruption has become the forefront issue across this entire utility ecosystem,” says Jennifer Mellace the producer for the SAP for Utilities conference.“It has reshaped how the industry is looking at the future, and demands change from the traditional business model, but without any precedent to follow, how does your utility adapt? This is where ‘Looking Beyond’ becomes necessary. To help utilities gain a deeper understanding and new perspectives for innovative techniques, this year’s conference is featuring insights from digital pioneers outside of the industry and data and analytics are huge players in their success.”
This year’s event will bring you closer to leveraging your data to effectively operate all areas of the business and face digital disruption head-on. Hear from over 60 sessions on solutions and strategies that have been successfully implemented in utilities and neighboring industries. Gain insight from SAP on future roadmaps and tactics for getting the most from your current investments. Plus, hear from special guest speaker George W. Bush, the 43rd President of The United States of America, as he discusses the energy industry and how government can support the market.
