DATA AND COMMUNICATIONS FOR SMART METERING

Towards Successful Testing and Assurance 7 May 2014 - ICO Conference Centre, Berners Street, London EUA is pleased to announce its one day seminar ‘Data and Communications for Smart Metering’.

The commercial landscape for smart metering has changed greatly in the last twelve months with the appointment of key governance groups and service providers, but there is much to do before enduring roll-out commences in 2015.

As well as providing the latest update on design and build progress, this event looks ahead to the important testing and assurance phase of implementation, and asks the question ‘how ready are users’?

Uniquely this event looks beyond M2M processes and systems to the important aspect of communicating and engaging with customers as a key success factor in realising the benefits of smart metering.

Please join us for this third annual Data & Communications for Smart Metering Event to hear from policy makers and service providers at the sharp end of the design, build, testing and assurance phases of UK smart metering implementation. As usual our speaker programme will be supported by a topical supply chain exhibition and excellent networking opportunities.

Cost: EUA / techUK members £275 (+ VAT)

Non members: £350 (+ VAT) TO BOOK: Please complete booking form or book online www.eua.org.uk/events/data-and-communicationsfor-smart-metering-2014 FOLLOW US: @euaun #euaevents
