From Alltricity Network Executive Director Ken Wilmot
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ALLTRICITY NETWORK’S 2024 SPRING CONFERENCE IN DENVER A SUCCESS!
With the start of the summer season, Alltricity Network is pleased to have wrapped up another successful Spring Management, Engineering, and Operations Conference – our first big event with our new name: Alltricity Network. A huge thank-you to the speakers, moderators, attendees, tabletop sponsors, Alltricity Network Board of Directors, Alltricity Network Education Committee Members and the Alltricity Scholarship Foundation who all worked so hard to make sure the conference was engaging, educational and fun! Nearly 350 attendees representing our industry came to Denver to connect in-person to network, share experiences, attend educational sessions, learn from the candid roundtable discussions and kick off our new brand in style! Highlights included a beautiful day on the links at Arrowhead Golf Course to start the conference; Board President Lisa Barbato doing the honors of “flipping the switch” and celebrating the new Alltricity Network brand with membership; an incredible and inspiring message of resiliency and gratitude from keynote speaker Aron Ralston; and much, much more!
If you didn’t get a chance to join us at the Spring Conference, you will have the opportunity to view most of the sessions on demand! We recorded audio and presentation slides for most of the Generation, Transmission & Distribution, and Management track sessions. These on demand videos will be available on the conference app and at alltricitynetwork.org soon. Look at the 2024 Spring Conference brochure to get more details on the topics and descriptions for each session.
