# Keynote: Itron Leadership Meeting, San Diego, CA – The Future of Energy Utilities : Connected, Intelligent, Localized

This organization provides infrastructure and technology solutions to the energy utility sector. Once a year, they bring together their leadership team for an intense season to cover strategies, plans and objectives, and wanted to kick off their meeting this year with a good look at the future trends impacting their customer base. I took a look at a vast number of trends, including microgrids, accelerating renewable technology, smart city infrastructure, the rise of electric vehicles and in-road charging infrastructure, as well as many other issues. Part of the challenge is that as their customer base transitions, what they sell transitions as well – from a product, to a service offering, and so my keynote covered in-depth strategies to deal with that issue.
