With virtually every major – and minor – telecom company trying to proactively branch out into the green technology and smart grid market sectors, it comes as no surprise that events are being hosted that are solely geared towards green and smart topics.

For example, TMCnet’s Smart Grid Summit addresses the unprecedented opportunity coming from the intersection of two major forefronts in the telecom industry and our economy: utilities and communications. 

Based on the ideologies of TMCnet and Intelligent Communications Partners, the event creates a forum that engages a new and increasingly popular community.  

Since the smart grid sector is poised for the transformation similar to what telecom experienced with the evolution of IP communications, the event elaborates on how IP communications will play a role in the fruition of the smart grid infrastructure. 

In addition to the highly popular Smart Grid Summit, VentureBeat announced another smart grid conference in California that brings together top industry professionals to discuss the revamp of the traditional power grid. 

Matt Marshall, editor-in-chief and founder of VentureBeat, said that the world is poised to push through major climate change legislation over the next year, the smart grid movement seems to be the ripest area for disruptive innovation right now.

“This conference comes at an ideal time,” Marshall added. “People will have the opportunity to interact up close with the most ambitious entrepreneurs, as well as leaders in technology, business, utilities and venture capital that are driving policy and innovation toward a cleaner, more efficient electrical grid.” 

With all the hype of the smart grids flooding the telecom market, attending events like the Smart Grid Summit and the California GreenBeat Conference, industry professionals are able to accrue pertinent information on how to expand their business, maximize the industry trends and continue towards a progression into new, innovative ideas.
