Conference sessions
A selection of top-class speakers
International dimension
International projects feature prominently
Audience
200 specialists in the field (distributors, producers, engineers, etc.)
Networking
Ample intervals are allowed for dialogue and discussion
In its 9th iteration, the Smart Energy national day will explore the Norwegian energy landscape.
What are the implications of this liberalisation for legislation, grid management, distributors and, in particular, customers?
The impact of liberalisation will also be weighed up in comparison with other industries (insurance, public transport, telecommunications). Other perspectives will also be opened up via further presentations, for example in relation to design thinking.
A keynote speaker will be announced at the start of 2019.
We look forward to meeting you in Sion on 30th August 2019.

Feedback
I've been coming to the Smart Energy event since 2013. The quality is always very high, both in the conference sessions and in the facilities and general organisation. Particularly good for such a reasonable price!
A very worthwhile day, in terms of both the quality of the speakers and the networking opportunities.
Bravo to the organisers for their choice of speakers, particularly those who have a somewhat broader vision and enable us to think differently.
You've succeeded in finding new input for every edition, even though Smart Energy is the theme for many conferences, which sometimes repeat one another. Well done!
