“Seattle is excited to host GridFWD 2021 this fall and to have the energy community come back for a visit. The city is beginning to come back with more activity and this would be a welcome gathering to reconnect with leaders who are driving innovation forward. So much has happened over the last year a half, and there are many important areas that we can discuss together around the role of modernization on the energy infrastructure.”

General Manager and CEO, Seattle City Light

A Dynamic Balance of Content and Connection

  • FEATURED PANELS: As always, GridFWD 2021 will host some of our industry’s leading minds to explore new ideas and proven successes in grid modernization.
  • UNCONFERENCE BREAKOUTS: Attendees will have the chance to define the topics they want, on the spot, and gather with experts and peers to dig in.
  • HUDDLES: With so many industry issues and opportunities, GridFWD 2021 will offer a wide range of small-group discussions for sharing best practices and answering questions.
  • REVERSE PITCHES: We’ll make it easy for utilities to tell the industry what capabilities and technologies they are looking for now.
  • EXTENDED BREAKS AND SOCIALS: An equal balance of structured and unstructured time will help our community regroup and move forward.
  • VIRTUAL SESSIONS: We recognize that not everyone will be able to come to Seattle for GridFWD 2021, so we will make select sessions available online as well.

Many Thanks to the GridFWD 2021 Sponsors
