Measurable & Sustainable Cities – Futureproofed
The next decade or two, may very well be the most important since beginning of mankind. There’s no room for spectators in this game. Either we become the assholes who let the climate change tragedy unfold, or we become the hero generation who speed up and scale the transformation to attractive cities and a fossil-free future.

Workshop: Cities are where the action is
When it comes to climate change, cities are where the action is. In recent weeks months 364 mayors in the US came together to commit to meet their cities’ climate goals, push for new action to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, and work together to create thriving, fossil-free, sustainable cities where it’s great to live and work.

Presentation title
Workshop: What market designs and regulatory responses are we seeing that are accelerating change?
Almost by definition, regulated energy market players are unable to innovate. The returns on infrastructure investment, their role in the market and how and what they communicate and sell to consumers are all highly scrutinised by government regulators. For decades, electricity systems have remained largely unchanged and systematic incentives encouraged utilities to resist startups and new market designs. Today these systems are being challenged politically, technically and financially, driven in no small party by the threat of climate change and an urgent agenda to provide energy access for all. At the same time, a combination of technology trends in energy (such as new battery capability) and computing (such as blockchain) show the promise of moving toward a much more decentralised, decarbonised energy system.

Workshop: Ecosystem matters: Decentralised power in action in Europe
During this workshop we will focus on challenges such as the opportunities and business models arising from co-created decentralised eco-systems and how the future trends (e.g. IoT, batteries) will have an impact on these partnerships and business models. How will the grid manage the complexities of distributed power (e..g grid congestion, visibility of load)
