The Powering Decisions Optimization Summit will be April 21-22 in Denver, CO. This webinar will help you optimize your summit experience.
In the first 15 minutes of the webinar, Kathryn will describe the event by walking through the schedule, going over FAQs, and answering audience questions.
For the rest of the webinar, she will give an introduction to optimization for utility professionals who might feel like they don’t know enough about optimization to attend the summit. She’ll work through a simple, relatable case study and show how the concepts apply to her work at Avista. She’ll end with more examples of utilities applying these techniques. You’ll leave plugged in to the powerful opportunities for better decision making that optimization provides, making you ready to learn more at the summit.
