Smart Grid Forums 2025 | Smart Grid Forums | 17 March 2025 | The Hague Conference Centre, Anna van Buerenplein 29, 2595 DA The Hague, Netherlands

The forum promises to be bigger, better, more utility-driven, more technically in-depth, more collaborative, than ever before.

As demand for renewables integration intensifies, utility technical teams and their senior management must collaborate and cooperate more effectively to make the right technology choices within the right timeline and mobilise the right grid transformation projects, to help meet climate goals.

During this one-day briefing a series of utility panel discussions explore the macro pressures facing the sector and identify new ways for utility senior management to work with their technical teams, the supplier community, regulatory authorities, and other utilities on a regional level. The day concludes with an evening Awards ceremony recognising innovation excellence within the utility sector.

The adjoining Exhibition provides a display of the most leading edge products and services available on the market. The day concludes with a series of intimate roundtable discussions enabling peer-to-peer brainstorming and networking.
