Powering Innovation: Exploring the Intersection of Technology and Energy by CTA

Join CTA for drinks, bites, and a discussion with leaders from the technology and energy sectors on how the two industries are increasingly connected, and what the U.S. needs to stay competitive for the next wave of America innovation.

CTA's President and CEO Kinsey Fabrizio will kick off the event followed by a presentation from CTA's Market Insights Manager Christopher Dethloff highlighting CTA's two recent energy white papers, The Untapped Grid: How Consumer Tech Will Power Our Energy Future and Power Innovation: How Emerging Technologies Are Reshaping the Future of Energy (set for release on Nov. 17).

The event will wrap up with a panel discussion exploring how technology and innovations in AI, automation, and digital infrastructure are transforming the way consumers interact with the energy system (and more importantly – how that could be expanded with consumer-owned technologies as grid infrastructure) as well as transforming our energy system to be more efficient, resilient and optimized.

• Bridget Bartol, Executive Director, Industry and Regulatory Affairs - Grid, National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
• Jennifer DeCesaro, Chief Industry Operations Officer, Edison Electric Institute
• Katie Reilly, Vice President, Consumer Technology Association
