IEEE Smart Grid World Forum

Welcome to the IEEE Smart Grid World Forum, this unique series of events that form a global platform for collaboration of stakeholders worldwide to support and promote the evolution of Smart Grid. IEEE Smart Grid World Forum provides the framework for the exchange of ideas and sharing best practices in different existing views and multiple approaches to Smart Grid.

The first event will be held at Hotel Metropole in Brussels, Belgium on 2-3 December 2010. Entitled the 'Evolution of the Grid', the focus of this event will be on the realization of Smart Grid. This unique two-day event will feature over 30 invited Smart Grid experts, with insightful presentations and discussions. It will provide an international perspective in a broad range of topics covering business and technical aspects, including standards. Organised in partnership with the SmartGrids European Technology Platform, this event will emphasise Smart Grid developments in Europe. The local organiser of the 2010 event in Brussels is K.U.Leuven.

The forum provides an opportunity for a realistic and impartial assessment of the current state-of-the-art developments in Smart Grids around the world.
 
The Brussels event will consist of eight sessions with 4-5 key speakers per session. The speakers will provide their expert viewpoints during a series of short presentations, followed by an interactive panel discussion. Each session will have a moderator to lead the discussion, allowing delegates to engage in the debate to inspire new innovative ideas. Registered participants will be able to submit questions for these discussions in advance via an online form. The event will also provide ample opportunity for networking at our dinner, and during lunches, coffee breaks and the closing reception.
