Providing a Smarter Grid through optimizing efficiency, productivity, and reliability.

WAUKESHA, WI, June 1, 2011 – The 2011 Cooper Power Systems Smart Grid Conference is scheduled for October 4th – 6th, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This annual three-day conference offers parallel tracks covering Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Demand Response, and Grid Automation. Attendees are also invited to participate in professional development workshops on the third day.

The Cooper Power Systems Smart Grid Conference brings together solution experts, business partners, and customers, providing an excellent opportunity to meet with peers to explore new application ideas and discuss best-practices. Attendees learn about emerging technologies, and are invited to influence hardware and software development to ensure that Cooper Power Systems solutions continue to evolve to support changing utility needs.
This conference will include in-depth sessions presented by Cooper Power Systems Smart Grid experts and by customers who are doing real-world Smart Grid projects. Support professionals from Cooper Power Systems will be on hand to provide one-on-one assistance at the conference Support Center.

“We are always excited by the innovative ways our customers put our solutions to work to solve their problems,” said Mike Stoessl, president of Cooper Power Systems. “Last year our key-note speakers included both a large investor-owned utility and a large electric cooperative who detailed their own Smart Grid visions and challenges. This is an open forum for us to share solutions to optimize energy delivery. Whether our customers are presenters or attendees, we know they come away with knowledge and contacts to meet their evolving Smart Grid needs.”

Cooper Power Systems also hosts 10 North American regional Smart Grid conferences annually.

The 2011 Smart Grid Conference will be held at the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel. An early-bird registration is available until July 1, 2011. For additional information and registration, visit www.cooperpower.com.
