Smart Energy and Sustainable ICT Conference

3 - 4 May 2012, The Square, Coudenberg 3, 1000 Brussels

The European Commission is organising a conference on sustainable ICT, smart grids and smart cities. The two-day conference will be opened by Commissioners Günther Oettinger and Neelie Kroes. It will bring together policy makers and stakeholders such as telecom companies, energy providers, regulators and consumer organisations. It will provide a platform for discussions on the challenges faced in deploying smart grids, be they technical, regulatory, financial or linked to public acceptance. A new EU Communication on Smart Cities will be presented and it will be investigated how ICT can make our cities greener by an exchange of best practices. It will also touch upon the important issue of how to deliver transparent metrics around the positive contribution of ICT to solving our energy and climate problems. Registration is free of charge, but obligatory and will open in mid-March.
