Knowledge 2013 Snapshot 2013 Host Utilities

Knowledge 2013 Snapshot
The 8th Annual Knowledge Utility Executive Summit in Colorado Springs, Colorado focused on
Leadership for a Reliable, Secure Energy Future, capturing the top need for utility executives in
2013. Key industry leaders and executives came together to engage, learn, network and
contribute with their peers to discuss what is affecting and driving how utilities drive and
manage their business.
This forum was created to allow top industry executives to network with colleagues, learn of new
solutions from peers and walk away with high-impact knowledge takeaways- and it was a huge
success!
A special thank you goes out to the 2013 host utilities, committee chairs and members, partners,
sponsors and attendees! We look forward to our 9th Annual Knowledge Summit
November 11-12 in Newport Beach!
